Cross Country Shipping (NY > SF, Redfoot)

[itzanduts]

We are moving from New York to San Francisco and need to transport our 3 year old Redfoot Tortoise. He is about 8 inches long.

Does anyone in the community have tips or advise on shipping? Our current plan is to order materials from reptile2you (https://www.reptiles2you.com/Reptile-Shipping-Kits-C7.aspx) and ship via FedEx Live Animal under the most expedited service available.

We live near the FedEx so we can likely drop him off right before they close.

Any advise is greatly appreciated as he is our prized possession.
