I have a pregnant female motoro that is on her 2nd batch of pups. I have her up for sale and somebody is interested. Since I haven't moved a female during pregnancy I was wondering if I should wait till she gives birth. If sold she would be going in a big tub with an airstone and the drive is 1 1/2hrs and then the buyer has another 1/2hr home so roughly 2hrs in a tub. I think she is due in the next 30 days or so as the pups are moving lots. Anybody have any experience moving pregnant females and what happened when they moved the ray? I think the worst outcome would just be an early birth.
Should I move the pregnant female?

That is a tough call. I would hold her and let the buyer pick her and the pups up after she has them. Laz sold several pregnant marbles a few months ago and only one had a pup, the rest had still births. So a little to risky for my liking.
Agreed, not worth the risk. The stress of being moved could cause her to give birth early, if she did it while in the tub it could be a real disaster.
