So I'm trying to adopt out my tortoise: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/thread-84134.html
I HAVE searched for and read all the other tortoise-shipping threads on the forum. But I was hoping I could get some more detail on some things? I am VERY new to this and have never shipped an animal before, much less a reptile, so I want to be 100% sure of everything.
My tortoise is a LARGE ADULT Sulcata. I would wager he's about 40-50 pounds, though not sure. I have some questions--
Like I said, I am VERY new to this, so I feel like I need more help than usual. Any advice would be appreciated!

My tortoise is a LARGE ADULT Sulcata. I would wager he's about 40-50 pounds, though not sure. I have some questions--
- What are the specific names of the services that are good to ship large reptiles?
- What are the price ranges like?
- Could someone maybe give me a "For Dummies" guide as to exactly what kind of shipping products to use?
- What kind of box? Bedding? It's winter- how will he stay warm?
- Anything else specific to Sulcatas I should know?
