    just need to figure out if it will be ok in the bag until I get home at 4. I don't want to ask my neighbor to acclimate it for me, not sure she would know how to do it.

    that im not sure. I'm sure he would be fine though, i would ask around just to make sure. I know mine lasted a 30minute car ride and a 30 minute acclimation.

    your supposed to drip acclimate them, but since i don't have a way to drip acclimate, i just poured a small amount of water into the bag every 5 minutes for half an hour

    yea, i really think he will be fine, i'm sure he's survived his flight so he should be fine waiting a bit longer
