Will this start to melt from the heat of the turtle baskimg lights?

Answer by Chewy • Dec 13, 2018
This platform is designed to be used for basking. If the plastic is melting, the heat source is too close.

Is there a limit to the depth of water that this works well in? And if so, what is the maximum water depth that this platform will work effectively in?

Answer by Chewy • Jul 30, 2020
The Small platform features an adjustable height of up to 12 inches and the Large platform features an adjustable height of up to 16 inches.

can this be used in a reptile tank?

This product can be used in a reptile tank.

Will it fit on a 90 gallon tank

Answer by Chewy • Feb 09, 2021

The Small platform measures 11.5 inches long by 9.5 inches wide by up to 12 inches tall fits small and large tanks and features 3 additional pylons for an adjustable height of up to 12 inches. The Large platform measures 16 inches long by 11 inches wide by up to 16 inches tall and fits medium to large tanks and features 8 pylons for an adjustable height of up to 16 inches.

I have bought many platforms for my friend and none lasted. Suction cups never stayed stuck and 1 pricey model did not it on bow front aquarium. Even though the legs do fall off sometimes this is by far the best. Timmy suns herself stretched out like a model! She could never be set free as she was hurt when found as a hatchling.(only has 1 eye due to bird attack. ) just an orphan eastern paint turtle trying to live her best life

This would be great, but...

Washington, my RES, seemed to like this platform, until he got stuck under it and nearly drowned because he couldn't get out from underneath of it. It's a decent product but a poor design.

Love it but little on the too large side

Love it. Turtles took a couple days to learn how to use it. Definitely huge. In my 75 gallon for mini musk turtles

That they have a new place to lie on!

They have had before, and it's easy to put together and very accessible for my turtles to get on and off!

Big Enough

Raphael is a yellow belly cooter and he started out the size of the bottom of a coke can. He's not that size now and none of the floating rocks would give him time

Raphael is a yellow belly cooter and he started out the size of the bottom of a coke can. He's not that size now and none of the floating rocks would give him time out of the water. He loves basking on his new pier!

I have a fully grown red-eared slider and she is heavy enough to unstick the suction cups from the bottom of the tank. She had moved the entire item over and I went to put it back and one of the posts had broke where they connect. I believe I only had it for less than a month. It's a large platform and it flows okay but sometimes cannot support her weight.

Dont waste your money on this if you want a turtle to bask, they will get wet. The cup fills with water and it all stays wet. plus it sways. My Turtle was afraid

Dont waste your money on this if you want a turtle to bask, they will get wet. The cup fills with water and it all stays wet. plus it sways. My Turtle was afraid of it after one use. I removed it and put the smaller but stabler one in. He is happy now. I have a 55 gallon tank half full of water.

My turtle is afraid and will not use this. It also never starts stuck to the bottom of the tank.
