Beware: Sharp

This thing has pretty sharp edges underneath. I haven't decided if I'm gonna return it or use it since I'm still kinda designing what I want to do with his new enclosure

This thing has pretty sharp edges underneath. I haven't decided if I'm gonna return it or use it since I'm still kinda designing what I want to do with his new enclosure. But if I do use it, I'll have to sand the entire underneath.

My 3-month-old western painted turtle really enjoys this ledge/basking platform and started using it within a couple hours of placing it in my aquarium. The added green coloring makes this platform look like it has realistic algae or moss growing on it. The only complaint I have is that the platform is slightly wobbly, which doesn't appear to be a problem for my lightweight turtle. I solved this by placing a rock under the side to keep it firmly in place. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase and I think this platform would is the perfect size for most young aquatic turtle.

Honestly, I'm glad I bought this when it was discounted to $13. I would have been very upset if I would have paid $42 for a piece that is as big as my hand. I was expecting it to be a lot bigger. Happy with the current price though.

Good Hidy Hole

The ledge makes a good, sturdy hiding place for the kids when they want to be in seclusion or if they want to climb.

Jekyll loves this hide. Very much they have burrowed it into the ground a little bit. He has barely gone into his log hide since he has gotten this one. Hyde on

Jekyll loves this hide. Very much they have burrowed it into the ground a little bit. He has barely gone into his log hide since he has gotten this one. Hyde on the other hand doesn't care still stays up on it's the branch close to the top for their hide. ( Yes, I know it's the wrong sub. Straight for them, just found that out, it came with them when we bought them after I get the play sand washed and bait. It'll be changed out and their cage cleaned. 70% reptisoil, 25% playsand, and 5% sphagnum moss.) I am learning as I go.
