Hi All,
I need to ship out two 25 - 30 pound tortoises across the country this week. I have always used FedEX overnight for my babies, but am likely going to use Delta to ship, just like you would to ship your dog. This way I can drop at airport and the tort can be picked up on the other end, just few hours apart. My plan is to build a small wood crate for each.
Anyone have feedback on what they have done, what airlines they have used? Is a wood crate the best idea, or does a dog carrier work just as well? I want it secure and dark for the tort for safety and to reduce stress on the tort, but am open to suggestions.
Thanks much,
Ben
