Shipping a tortoise

[Harish]

Hi I have a 1 year and 2 month old sulcata tortoise and I moved to the uk. I had to leave my tortoise with my uncle and now I want to ship the tortoise to me. What is the most cost effective way to do that,
Thank you.

I may be all wet, because I really don't know the rules, but I think you would have been better off taking him with you. There are all kinds of rules, regulations and quarantine restrictions about moving animals between countries.

It's very complicated.

Contact these folks, they seem to have been able to help others cut through the red tape and details:
