Rating Snapshot
Review this Product
Customers say
Customers praise the platform for its durability, spacious design, and stability under multiple turtles without sinking or shifting. Most report their turtles eventually adapt and use it daily, calling it the best basking solution they've tried. However, many note the ramp frequently detaches or slips, making it difficult for turtles to climb. Some successfully modified the ramp or trained their turtles with treats, while others abandoned it due to accessibility issues. Overall, reviewers recommend it for its build quality and size despite ramp concerns.

Questions
i have a 20 gallon tank and ive been reading and it says it wont fit and im not sure if u should buy it plz i really need help also i have a 1 inch red eared slider
- This may be a bit large for a 20 gallon. Is is 12 in wide & 18inchs long. It uses water to float so it can sit low in water. I will tell you this is a heavy duty product as it last n lasts even with the heated lamp beating down on it. For a small turtle the platforms with the suction work well, large basking rocks work welll or build one side of tank up with rock/sand. Small turtles only need about 3 inches of water or lots of floating things to get on.

will it fit a 20 gallon tank
- No, it's way too big. Unless you're okay with it taking over half of the tank.

Would this thing fit in a 20 gallon fish tank
- That is what I have it in. It takes up almost half of the tank. But the turtles can swim under the floating part of the pier. My turtles love it!

Hello, Petco. I am very interested in the large Penn-Plax floating turtle pier basking platform. I have a very large red eared slider. She weighs 8 lbs and is 10” by 9.5”. Will the large basking platform be suitable for her? Thank you.
- Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, your turtle may be a bit too large for the Turtle Pier. The weight of the turtle may push the dock into the water, rendering it useless.

How do I keep the ramp from falling off? It gets dislodged at least once a week, and turtle can't get back up.
- maybe u could put a flat rock under the ramp; make sure its a heavy flat rock or square rock;

What size tank is recommended for this dock?
- Hi SamanthaThompson, You can use this in tanks starting from 18"W x 24"L x 18"H. Thanks

Does the protect have good suction cups?
- Hi Olivia, Thanks for your question. Yes, this product comes with heavy duty suction cups.In order to achieve the best fit for the suction cups, please ensure that any gravel or substrate in the bottom of the tank has been moved away from the area where the suction cups will sit to provide a strong seal. Once the suction cups are secure, move the gravel or substrate back over them.

How tall can the Peir stand?
- Hey Dean82, Thanks for your question. You shouldn't have any problem with the Turtle Pier in your breeder tank. The Turtle Pier includes extension posts designed to fit deeper aquariums.
