Answer 2

A large styrofoam box might be obtained from a tropical fish dealer that has just gotten a shipment. Line the bottom with something that will hold enough water to keep the humidity high (burlap sack, sphagnum moss ...). Put the turtle on the wet substrate and keep it out of the sun. Renew the water when (if) you stop for the night.
