Penn-Plax Reptology Aquatic Turtle Pier and Basking Platform | Floating Above Tank | Decorative, Functional, and Naturally Inspired for Aquariums and Terrariums | Large Size (REP603) 41 X 28 cm

Nervously bought this for the tank as the measurements advertised took most of the available space. I am pleased to say my two yellowbelly turtles love this as they can both fit on the top and can happily swim underneath, moving the structure around as they see fit. I will happily buy one of these again when the time comes.

This is a large floating platform much bigger than I had realized however our large turtle loves it. It does sink slightly on whatever side hes on but it always rectified itself. The only downside is the suction pads are not great and didnt work at all on our sand lining the bottom of his tank. Really good value for money. Very happy would definitely buy again.

The platform is very good and large which is perfect for my terrapin. However, the suction cups are awful and don't stay stuck for longer than a minute. keep that in mind when buying. otherwise its fantastic!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐☆ 4/5 – Attractive, functional, and a good basking optionI’m pleased with the Penn‑Plax Reptology turtle pier — it floats nicely and gives my turtles a comfortable spot to rest and bask above the water. The design is decorative and natural-looking, which makes the tank look more appealing than plain plastic platforms.Installation was easy and repositioning the platform is simple when I clean the tank. My turtles seem willing to use it regularly, which is the main thing. The only small caveat is that if you have a larger turtle or several turtles at once, the floating platform can shift a bit or feel slightly unstable.Overall — for small to medium turtles, or as a supplementary basking spot — it’s a very good, balanced choice between aesthetics and function.

Had problems finding something thats suitable for a large turtle, he's over 30cm wide.Thankfully he fits! and can rotate on this platform. He's quite the fan infact. The suckers probably would work, but for the fact that the lad likes to thrash around and cause chaos. Even through all of his chaos it stays in one piece though! He loves hanging out underneath holding the poles. even sleeping with one foot attached.The ramp bit could be wider but it can easily be diy'd to add stuff to make it so. I've considered adding zip ties to the legs to keep the platform up but gone against it. The way it floats on the four posts actually helps get his big boy self up there.

I struggled to find a basking area big enough for my YBS turtle but this is perfect for her sizeIts not great for floating as my turtle is very heavy but i just cable tied it underneath and works perfect ... but i will add it was perfect for my smaller turtle tho (it didnt sink)Easy to assemble and pop in tankAfter wasting over £100 on basking areas this is by far the best one i got

The ramp refuses to stay connected whenever my turtle climbs onto it the ramp falls off

I've got this twice now. Seems to be one of the very few docks big enough for 2 grown terrapins that doesn't cost a fortune.One good tip to stop it from sinking from too much weight on it is to put plastic tube over the legs to the minimum height you want the dock to go to. Just get a long plastic pipe from a hardware store for a couple quid, cut 4 short bits off, then slide it over the legs. Made it so much better.Can also remove all the legs and just hang the dock from the top sides of the tank using string or again pipe. Makes the swimming area a lot bigger.

I have purchased different platforms for our turtle but they ended up not working well (the magnet ones) - I have had this for quite sometime now and it is perfect for our turtle. He feels very secure basking on it and it is very sturdy and goes up and down with the water level - can highly recommend

Sympa pour ma tortue ! Bon produit, qui a l'air solide et parfait pour durer dans le temps en plus d'être jolie !Au delà de mes espérance !Juste domage qu'il n'y ai pas une rampe un peu plus longue pour atteindre le bas de l'aquarium :-)

Es perfecto. Mi tortuga le encanta es súper como y además aguanta bien el peso a veces se me despega alguna ventosa pero nada del otro mundo todo genial. Sin duda si este se rompe volveré a comprarle el mismo

Bonne qualité malheureusement ne convient pas à ma tortue car trop lourde. Elle pèse 1,5 kg et dès qu'elle se met dessus l'île coule. Par contre ma tortue l'aimait bien quand même. Dommage qu'elle ne supporte pas des poids plus lourd ! Et la pente pour monter peut facilement se déclipser si votre tortue met trop de force. À mon avis pour une jeune tortue c'est parfait (ou une plus légère). Je ne regrette pas mon achat mais malheureusement il ne convient pas dans mon cas. Le produit mérite ses 5 étoiles malgré tout !
