Question by alwayz_prazn: What are some tips for traveling cross country with Bearded Dragon in winter?
We are going on a cross country road trip, stopping in 2 hotels before getting to our destination. We will be traveling the last week of December and I would like to know how best to travel with my adult bearded dragon the easiest way possible, with no stress to him. I don’t want to lose him. It’s not an option to leave him unless we gave him a new home. How do I keep him warm throughout the car rides? It’s about 11 hours first day, 9 hours next day and 6 1/2 hours following day good weather permitting.

There is no possible way you are going to be able to do that with no stress to him.

It would be in his best interest to leave him at home with a friend or board him at a petstore. I’m sure there is some way you could find boarding for him.

Its going to likely be cold as balls and you’ll have to keep him warm by keeping the car heater up. There are outlet adapters you can put in the cigaratte lighter of a car that you could theoretically plug a heat lamp into, but I think that might not be very safe.

He’s going to be stressed out and not likely to eat; in all honesty he would probably be fine for a week left at your empy house with heat lights on a timer and a big meal before you go and some extra crickets in his cage

Question by Meg: When are winter flight deals to Ireland offered?
I’m hoping to visit western Ireland this December and would like to start planning soon.

I’m not going to buy a 700 dollar ticket now though if Aer Lingus has deals from $ 250 roundtrip later on. I’d just like to know when these deals are offered.

To anyone who’s taken advantage of these deals in the winter time, when were they offered (mid-October, late-November, etc…)?

Though it’s unlikely that you’ll find a ticket for as low as $ 250 anymore (that will barely cover the taxes and fees on a ticket between North America and Europe), fare sales for the winter period often are offered beginning in the late summer (August and September). I’d keep checking back with the various airlines to see whether this pattern holds again this year.
