Here are a few places.

(this one is a good deal as you get the insulated box, bag (OK for larger tortoises if they fit) and a heat pack all in one)

rofl "Super Dope".... I love this part of that ad: "Due to overwhelming popular demand (ok, just two customers)..." I'd buy from them just for their sense of humor!

Thanks for posting this, i've always wondered how it was done. I assume with my large guy he'd have to go in a dog crate LOL (no, i'm not shipping him anywhere LOL)

Yes Anna your large guy would definitely have to go in a dog crate, and would have to be shipped via the Airlines as cargo.

Kelly, Pro Exotics is owned by Chad Brown a former big football star. They are really crazy around there.

I dont want to seem picky here, but Wouldn't it be better to ship them at colder temperatures where they'd be inactive?
Obviously not *too* low, but insulation should be enough to heat them without a heat pack

What about UPS?

UPS is fine

Perfect timing!
Great pictures to go with the explanations
