Airline travel with BTS

Postby leanna.rowland96 » Fri Oct 09, 2015 8:56 pm

I'm taking a trip to around summer time to see a friend But I'm hoping to surprise that friend with a baby blue tongue.
The airline I'm going to be using is Delta (they are fine with reptiles but need to be in cargo).
Is there anything close to a pet carrier that would be airline safe for a reptile?? any ideas/suggestions?

It has to be packed up the same as when you're shipping them.
I believe they have guidelines on reptiles somewhere on their site.

Not a dumb question at all! I didn't mean to be short either, was just in a hurry :)

I remember having to do some digging to get to the reptile guidelines though, then I even called Delta Dash and asked to be sure. They only take X number of Dash animals per flight, and it's first come first served, so you don't want to get to the counter and not have everything in order.

Good luck!

Hi. A nice thought. Are you sure this friend will want a 'surprise' bts? It is a large commitment as with any pet, can they afford the cost for the enclosure setup?
