I'm in the navy, so my job requires me to move frequently. Right now, my BP's are on the west coast, with my wife, and I'm on the east coast. She is going to drive across country soon, and she will most likely be bringing them with her. I have the choice of having my father take care of them for the next 6 months, before hopefully returning there (but that isn't certain, or probably even likely), but I'd rather have them with me.

Is there anything I should make sure she knows to do to be prepared to make that trip with the BP's?

So far I have told her she'll need to keep them in snake bags, probably in a ventilated tub, in the shade in the car, not next to any vents, and to not leave them in the car alone more than 5 minutes (due to the heat). She'll most likely bring them with her in a bag if she goes to get food anywhere. It will take a good 3 full days of traveling to get here, so I think it would be good to have a temporary tub set up for them every night along the way, even if it isn't heated.

If anyone has done this before, I'd appreciate any tips!
