Question
Im going to school in the fall and want to bring my leo with me. I wonder how
can i travel with her safely? If i can take her on a plane can she survive the
pressure changes? Will she be ok for an 8 hour drive?  Thanks.

Answer
Hello Aaron,

That is great you want to take your leo to college with you. :-)) It is doubtful that they will allow reptiles on airplanes, or they have not in the past anyway.
However, if you are so lucky that you can take her on an airplane, she will be fine with pressure changes in the air.
She would be perfectly fine relocating by an 8 hour car drive, too.  Just put her in a little box in a towel, etc, & she will most likely just chill out & relax.
