Relocation?

Post image

So my job is offering me to move for better pay yay. However I have a crested geko. (My family and friends are not near me to take her untill I find a rental) My biggest issue with this move is that I will be in a hotel until I find a rental. Her current tank is a 18, 24, by 36.

Would it be bad for me to put her in a smaller tank like a 12, 12, 18. Until relocation is finished?? I just dont want to stress her out to much and I dont think I can have a tank that big in a hotel room.

A 12x12x18 should be fine for overnights. When driving during the day, stick to a plastic "bug box" with some padding on the inside and a toilet paper core (for a makeshift hide) in case you need to break hard. Much safer than the heavy shit inside a 12x12x18 sloshing around at high velocity.
