Tortoises are venomous right?

Here are a few places.

http://www.proexotics.com/store/product....249&page=3
(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! Tongue

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.
