    Questions about shipping my tortoises

    Thanks again for the help! I'll post an update once it's all done, I'd feel a lot better if there were direct flights but that's out of my control.

    Questions about shipping my tortoises

    Thank you, this was very helpful. I still have about a month to sort this out but appreciate the suggestions you gave. I will most likely end up using Delta Dash and I was told that they do accept reptiles and cold blooded animals at the moment, however they will not take dogs.

    Questions about shipping my tortoises

    Thanks! They are adult radiated tortoises, I just want to go with the safest option. I've shipped a lot of koi fish using delta cargo so I already have an shippers account however, I have never shipped tortoises this big.

I want to use delta cargo however there are no direct flights flights so I was wondering if it would be fine to put them on a flight with one stop? Also what method do you think is the safest way for me to pack the...

    I have been looking for a while too. In all honesty, I emailed someone who I knew had a fair amount of tortoises. He and I were then abled to work out a deal for these guys.

    Outdoor pond for RES and Koi

    To begin turtles and koi do not mix well together, there are not many species of turtles that won't harm the koi. One mistake that many make is mixing a RES with a koi and they end up losing there beloved fish from fin damage and infection. I would not advise you keep the two together unless you...
