Leopard Gecko Transporation

Question
I have a leopard gecko and I was wondering if its bad that I am always moving him from one house to another thats about an hour drive. For example I first moved him from my house to my other house in september and any days that I head back to my other house for more then 5 days I would bring the gecko with me. I have already transported him 4 times back and forth and will be doing so again 2 more times. Is this not healthy for the gecko?

Answer
Hello Matthew, sorry for such a late reply, I have been having difficulties getting an internet connection due to the winter weather we have been having here.

Transporting him this way all the time can cause a lot of stress and lizards can die from stress so yes keep the transportation to a minimum.

Through these 4 times has he shown any signs of stress? Discolored? Not eating? Etc.
