Reptology® Turtle Pier Floating Platforms w/Ramp

I recently bought 2 red eared slider hatchlings.I chose this penn plax floating turtle pier based on complaints about every other brand and configuration.My gamble paid off!!The turtles love to bask on it and also to hide under it with the floating live plants.The pier is large(I have a 40 gallon breeder tank) and strong too.I tested its capacity by placing some weight on it and it is strong enough to hold several adult turtles.For very large turtles the pier can be modified with a little inginuity to be stationary as opposed to floating.It even has an area for clean drinking water and or food.Overall I'm very happy with this pier. :)

This floating pier only works great on small turtle from 2 inches 4 inches. My turtle got big (around 5 inches now) and it will not support its weight. The whole pier sinks down when he tried to climb on. So..this product probably won't last long for your turtles if you are planning to keep your turtles for a long time, so keep searching for better product!

This platform is really nice, just beware that it is REALLY big! Do not get it unless you have a tank bigger than 20 gal.! When I upgrade my tank, I will purchase this again, but for now, it's just far to big for my turtles needs, and my turtles tank!

I have a 5" Reeve's turtle that loves this thing. He scrambles up the ramp very easily. His weight isn't enough to put it off balance so I don't fill the counterbalance with gravel. I don't have it anchored with the suction cups so it floats freely. It would be more stable if it were anchored. A larger turtle may need that. (Someone commented that their 5" turtle was too heavy for it. I'm not sure how this is possible and I only mention it because it's misleading and the only reason I hesitated to purchase this item. I assure you, it will hold a larger turtle than 5" very easily!) My turtle also loves to hide under the platform so it pulls double duty.

I've read reviews that big turtles will sink the platform or the ramp will get knocked off. I've got two African Sideneck turtles and they are about 6in each for now. Both of them on, it'll somewhat sink, but barely for water to get on platform. The ramp problem, I had aquarium silicone, so glued it to the platform and had no problems. As far as bigger turtles, put an aquarium air pump on the bottom of the platform so bubbles will constantly lift the platform out of the water. Another great thing about this, it can a lot of punishment, turtles and heat.
