I need to know some advice on how to keep my turtle safe during air travel.

Question

I'm shipping my semi aquatic turtle to Hawaii and was hoping someone would have some advice on the best way to ship him here. He's already registered with the state of Hawaii to come here; I just want to make sure he gets here safe. Should I put padding inside the container to avoid jostling during the flight? Thanks for your help!

Answer 3

Take a tank. INside the tank glue down a water bowl. Fill it a little bit up with water. Now take a sponge and put it inside the bowl (so it doesn't slosh, but maintains water) Now put in some substrate.. PUt the little guy in and make sure he has a nice tight lid (preferabally a slider.

Take the prepared tank and put it into a box that is a wee bit larger than the tank itself. Around it (open spaces) Fill will Shredded newspaper, foam beans, and any other sturdy material. ^_____^

Hope I helped since people really didn't seem to answer you correctly. :(
