Hello fellow forum friends!
I need to bring my about 6 month RES to a friends house because i'll be away for a while . It's currently -2 degrees outside. How should i transport him . In the water , out of the water? I'll be away for 4 days .

Any suggestions . Need to be taken care of ASAP .

How big is your RES and how far away is your friend? Can you just have someone check in every other day?

if you have to take him, i think it would be better to take him without water in a cooler with a moist towel in it. use the cooler to give him an area to swim in later he should be fine that way.
