I purchased this item 10 days ago. Due to the way this is manufactured, my turtle became trapped underneath and drowned. I am ashamed to say I did not read enough reviews beforehand to discover that this is a reoccurring problem this product has had since 2016. I lost my buddy of 7 years because of this. If I can stop anyone else from buying it, and protect their family, that would bring me some peace. Please do not purchase this item.

Two things that are stressed when purchasing a turtle: They need a basking platform and they need to have enough water equivalent to 1.5 their length. Once your turtle grows, oh and it will, you can look all over and you'll never find a platform tall enough to accomodate the depth of water you need. I have done the DIY basking platforms, primarily bc I'm cheap and didn't want to pay that much money. There are numerous ways to make one.

This is the best basking floating device out there for turtles. It is durable, last quit a long time. It handles the heat of the lamps pretty well. It's large, which is great for large or multiple turtles. It beats the suction cup ones any day.

Im really happy , its does the job!!Finally something that works !

Product doesn't suck to bottom of tank, and sinks when turtles get on. Turtles don't like wont use. Good idea if it worked as advertised.

My turtle loves to bask on it but has a hard time getting on because the ramp always falls

I bought this a few weeks ago, would never recommend this on for any one

I own a female Red Eared Slider turtle. At first, she was terrified of the thing, and it took some coaxing with food, and teaching her how to go up the ramp before she would go onto it on her own. Now she loves it because it is big enough for her to move around on, and relax. However she was scared of it at first. I think it looks cute, and if your turtle has an issue with it. Try leading them up the ramp and on the deck with their favorite treat, that's what I did with my girl.
