Elevation change

[lampshade]

IS it ok for a tortoise to go from the high desert all the way to the ocean? Will the pressure/elevation mess them up in any way?

I cannot answer that but will point out that elevations bother a lot of animals- many are only found within certain ranges of elevation.

HOWEVER, it is unlikely that they would be affected by short-term changes since they would experience that when they are being shipped by air (even while in a pressurized compartment.)
