I am moving to Springfield, Missouri on the 31st of this month. I am taking 16 snakes, 20-30 rats, two leopard geckos, 1 bearded dragon, dubia, some mice, and some african soft furred rats with me. And the dog of course.

The plan is to pack the animals (with the exception of the dog) in the car and tow the car behind the moving truck. As the car probably wouldn't make the drive, this is our only option. Any advice or tips would be appreciated.

Also, does anyone know of any local laws for that area regarding reptiles, small animals, etc. And I'm trying to find a local discussion forum so I can get in touch with local reptile people.
