To transport a turtle, you need to choose the right container that will provide your pet with a safe and comfortable space.

For short trips, a plastic container or cardboard box will do just fine.

In some cases, if you have a long journey ahead, it is recommended to use a special carrier for reptiles.

To avoid overheating or overcooling, it is important to ensure good ventilation in the turtle's container or box.

The holes should be on the sides or on the lid. The container itself should be tightly closed to prevent the turtle from escaping.

Use paper towels, napkins, sawdust as bedding. Wood chips, sphagnum moss, and a towel will also come in handy.

Choose a carrier that is spacious enough for your turtle to move around freely.

A special feature of transporting a turtle in the summer is the presence of a wet wipe in the container.

It is important to maintain a comfortable temperature for your turtle to ensure its safety.

Transporting a turtle in winter

In winter, when the temperature is below 15 degrees, the turtle will need additional heating during transportation.

In some cases, you can use a heating pad and place it in a container near your pet.
