I always adjust the temperature in the car when I bring a new pet home. Turn on the air conditioning or heat, depending on the time of year. So if driving to the breeder is an option, its the easiest solution. If not, that's a great tip Chickadee. One winter I used a hot/cold cooler heated to the proper temperature for a snake with shedding problems on a long trip to the vet. It was plugged into the lighter receptor all the way. He said I got 'A' for effort.
