Care guide
Transporting a Gargoyle Gecko Safely
Quick answer
Use a secure, ventilated container with soft bedding such as paper towel, keep it out of direct sun or a hot car, insulate against cold in winter, and minimise the total time spent in transit.
- Main risk
- Temperature extremes
Temperature is the priority
A gargoyle gecko's tolerance for heat is limited, so a warm car interior is often the biggest transport risk, more than the container itself.
Handling stress
A brief, secure trip causes less stress than a long one with frequent stops, so plan the route and timing where possible.
