We are traveling to Texas from Florida, approx 20 hours. We are very worried about how to transport our 2 baby turtles, they're about 3 months old. Do we place them in a container with a wet towel? Somebody please help!

Container with moist paper toweling is fine. They will be fine as long as you don't let them over heat in the car.

I traveled from NC with 2 baby red ears in a small plastic container before with low water. Worked fine. Even though they later ran away from my pond and are now in a huge pond where I can not catch them. They also are huge lol.

when we moved (not as far as you) we put them in box on a damp towel. The turtle guro told us if they will be at temps below 75 it is best not to feed them before travel.(of course make sure they dont get too hot or too cold) Make sure you get them warmed back up as soon as you can upon arrival!
