Hi

I have a 4yr old Russian tortoise, and I'm going on holiday soon so I'd like to take him with me. I have usually asked family members to look after him but they will all be coming with us. The journey is about 1hr and a half, and I know he doesn't like travelling but I'm sure he'll be ok if I pop him in his plastic travel box. The only issue is that his enclosure at home is huge so we are unable to put this in the car to take with us. Can anybody recommend what I can buy which is a reasonable size to transport but not too small so he doesn't get stressed please?

image.png How about a green house like this. Can be taken down for easy travel. Makes great enclosures too. They are cheap, around 40 bucks.
Also a large tote box. The largest size possible.

Some of the greenhouses don't have floors in them. A simple tarp will work as the floor and I tape it up to the sides.
There are a lot to choose from. I usually put in the search bar pop up greenhouses
