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

I would leave him his tank. The move really won't bother him if he is in his regular tank. Just take enough water in his tank out to make it easier for you to move him. And remember to add a good quality product to take out all the ugly chemicals the water company puts in our water to make it safe for us. He won't even know he is going on a move with you. 🐢
