Are you in NYC? Just wondering. The best way to carry her is to get an appropriate sized box. If you are only going less than 24 hours traveling you can just carry her dry without any problems. If you have time before you leave be sure you hydrate her thoroughly before packing her up. Most of these Chinatown meatmarket animals are very dehydrated. I have gotten a number of them over the years and the first thing I do is get them into water.
If you don't have time be sure to get her into some water as soon as you get to your final destination.
This is a big undertaking so you might as well be prepared for the worst. Many of these animals develop all sorts of healthy problems AFTER they are rescued because they are so abused in these meat market situation. Plus an animal that size is going need to need to be kept in a pond of some sort.
Good luck
Steve
