I dont suggest shipping that turtle. It could be injured or dehydrated.

You should try to post some pictures of the turtle... That could help... As far as shipping goes... be careful!!! i assume youve seen Ace Ventura Pet Detective when he's a UPS guy, the box is just a lil damaged.. Not saying they will do that to your turt. but none the less you dont wanna riskit.

There are ways to overnight them and companies that are recommended because they are safer to ship animals from. I know alot of breeders of snakes and reptiles that have had a lot of success with them. If you do your research, are well prepared and know what you're getting into its not that bad.

There are many companies that provide overnight shipping of animals. It may take a phone call or two and proper packaging, but it really isn't that harmful. There are a lot of turtles that are shipped overnight that arrive perfectly fine. It may cost upwards of $60 to ship it, but if you're concerned with what's best for your turtle, it's definetely worth it.
