I haven't made an appt. yet for Loki, since last time I called the vet's office, their exotic vet was out of town for the next 3wks.

I'm calling later today when they open, to try and make an appt. for Loki, but I wanted to know a safe way to transfer him to the vet, that won't stress him out terribly.

Would putting him in a pillow case, and then into the 6qt. sterilite tub I put him in when I'm cleaning his tank be fine? Or just into the sterilite? I figured the pillow case would keep it dark, since the sterilite is clear.

However he does just fine in it for short periods of time (5 to 15min), yet the trip to the vet is 30min there and back. Would it be better to put the pillow case over him, instead of putting him inside it?


On another note, this vet trip will just be a general check up, since there really isn't any hurt in getting him checked, especially when the appointment is $25 at most.

Shoot, if I remember correctly, my bf and I got a discounted, or free appt -can't remember which- for his Bearded Dragon, since it was just a check on his growth. And wasn't more than 15 minutes total.
