Here's an article I wrote a few years ago about moving with reptiles:
U'Haulin' Reptiles
If you decide to fly down instead of drive, then you may need to consider shipping, and if so, ShipYourReptiles is here to help you every step of the way.
Feel free to PM or email me if you have any specific questions about either option.
(PS - my hubby graduated from UTA....great school!)
