How big of a cage do you need for a 2" turtle?
Stupid to turn the plane around though citing "salmonella" as a potential threat. Check the thread on drinking water from a/c lavs

And cat poop can cause toxoplasmosis, arguably as dangerous as salmonella poisoning.. Is common sense really that hard to find these days?
