Questions
Will this fit on a 20 gallon long tank?
Will this fit on a 75 gallon long tank?
I'm considering getting one of these. Does it have to be mounted on one side of a tank? Or can it go over the middle of a tank?
Will the Zoo Med dual lamp fit on top of the metal grate? If not can I hang that lamp above it or would plastic melt?
- Thank you for your question. The Turtle-Topper is designed to be used with any clamp style lamp. There are places built into the lid where lamps can be attached on 2 sides of the metal grate.

Hi I recently bought this for my hatchling red eared sliders and when they try to get back in the water they tend to fall from the side where the ramp is. Is this usual? Think they may be afraid to go up there now.
- The ramp is slippery so you may need to add something for them to hold onto as they go up this should help.

Will this fit a 10gallon and 15gallon tank?
- as long as it's only 13 inches wide.

i recently added this to my tank however the ramp doesnt touch the water and if i add more water then my filter will be over the max line. do you make anything to extend the ramp longer?
- I just installed it today, and yes ramp is not long enough. I am brainstorming a way to add length to the ramp, as well as give it some texture since my turtle dive-bombed off of it and crashed into the bottom of my tank. I was thinking of maybe affixing his old floating island to the bottom of the ramp so that when he steps on it, it sinks into the water???

I'm planning to buy a 55 gallon at petco tomorrow. Will this fit o. The 55 gallon tank?
- as long as it's under 13 inches wide.
Helpful?
What is the material used for this
- Plastic. and metal for the top part that lamps sit on.
Helpful?
What can I use to make the ramp longer?
- you could most likely use egg crate with something on top or just plane egg crate.

My red eared slider is not basking even though I brought a uvb light for her just like one of the pet coach vets told me because he has soft shell.I place the light on top of a Zilla screen cover but she still don't get on.I can't really dry dock her because I have a hood for my uvb light.How can I make her to bask and is the Zilla cover okay for her?
I found a baby turtle upside-down in a puddle about the size of a plate. He was barely moving, and there was no creek within a few miles. I took him in and got a 10 gallon tank. I went to a creek and got some water from that, and some little rocks and made a habitat. I got a best lamp as well. What should I do? Should I keep him and care for him? Also, what should I feed him? I sent some pics to tell size and type.
I am not sure of my turtles age. I have had her for 3 yrs. Dosen't seem to be growing and I'm concerned about the underneath shell. Looks like it is splitting. She is in a 10 gal tank always by the window for sun. Is the tank to small? She eats well, super worms, tomatoes, grapes and strawberries some lettuce.
I have an Indian roofed turtle it has white patches on its top shell and also it has (fungus colour) green coloured patches on starting and ending of the top shell the pattern of on its bottom shell is also fading from a spot , maybe it is shedding its skin from there.I keep the turtle in a tub with normal water and and I keep it in my room I also give him 1 to 2 hours for basking in the sun . I live in Delhi where average temperature nowadays is 27-32C and it is monsoon here . Pls help.
I have 2 Chinese golden thread turtles. Slightly bigger than hatching size. I don't know the max height of water to add. Can you help me
Why isn't my turtle basking? He is just swimming in the water
Hello my name is Cheyenne! I have owned my Yellow Bellied slider since it was a hatchling, so a little over six years. It is 8 1/2-9 inches long. So he/she is a pretty big! So I have a couples of questions that I hope you can help answer... 1. It needs a bigger tank, it is in I think a 20-30 gl right now which is to small. I have been looking for a normal glass one but can’t find any that are in my price range and can’t seem to find any used for the size I am looking for. I have been looking in
My red eared slider turtle is hiding constantly staying under the rock and filter and he’s not sunbathing I’ve had him for 2&1/2 years and he hasn’t grown a whole lot, I’ve only been feeding him 3-4 “floating reptile sticks” every day since then. I’m worried about the little guy should I be feeding him more or something else also I don’t know if his tank is ideal for his species I’ve never met anyone else with a turtle and I haven’t had anyone to get advice from.
