Hi there, I live in Canada and will be in Nevada for the next few weeks and hope to purchase/adopt a tortoise. I have applied for the permits according to Canada law. I have heard from a rescue that it can be dangerous for a tortoise to fly? Is this true? If so I will cancel my adoption. TIA Tara

Greetings, Many people & establishments ship reptiles, including tortoises around via airlines. It’s done daily, safely with no issues. Just need to be careful on airline & shipping delays. Packaging is crucial.

Shipping reptiles is easy & safe when done professionally & properly.
