If you have a dog carrier, you could use that...or even a cardboard box with holes. We modified a dog carrier with plexiglass on the front so our herps wouldn't nose rub against the metal cage front (which they all seem to do since they don't want to be in there!)

There is a good chance she'll poop on the way if she gets upset, so bring some papertowels and newspapers and a garbage bag to replace the bedding in the carrier and clean up as best as you can. (or you can just wait until you get there to clean up) Hopefully she'll wait. Oh I just thought of an idea....move her at night! My reptiles always do much better then because it's dark and they're sleepy so they will lay down and naturally settle down usually. She may be shocked in the morning to discover she is in a new home! (but you can deal with that the next day!)

Anyway, good luck with your new home and the move.
