California My name is Andy	It's funny but Boo, Pesto, Froggie & Quigly have all been in cars with no problem. BUT, the second time we took Froggie in the car, she got a little car sick. Now, she was molting at the time & had been a tad nervous (as they seem to be when they molt), so maybe that was the reason. I think he will be just fine, but if he's a little ill don't worry. They're like people, some travel better than others, but generally they don't have any problems, I mean, they fly for miles & sit on swaying branches for heavens sake :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
