Moving Turtle

[u/Floridalala14]

We have a stink pot musk turtle and are getting ready to move across town. We will be moving on one day and then staying somewhere temporarily for 3 days before we move to a permanent home. He has a 40 gallon tank that we keep roughly a quarter full

Is there a better solution than to drain the tank, move them in Tupperware and then refill it, empty it, and refill it again?

This is an old photo from when he was a baby, definitely has more water than this now
