1 hour at the most.

Really pleased you managed to find one... or two.

Take a box filled with substrate... whatever you're using... keep the tort cool and it will dig down and sleep all the way home.

How old is the one you're getting? You won't need a very big box for a hatchling, just something deep enough for it not to get out of.

Topsoil will be fine and a deep shoe box will be big enough. Can't wait to see pics of your new tort... I'll bet you won't sleep tonight with excitement.
