ZillaPet Terrarium Aquatic Turtle Trunk Floating Basking Platform

I bought this for a big tank with a water depth of 12"...… It will float if over about 7" deep. If your turtle is big enough to not get caught under it, then most likely your tank is too shallow. I was able to use it for my tiny mud turtles, but bought it for a tank for RES. I would have never paid so much for a basking platform that only goes to 7". It would be a really neat product if it worked in a deeper tank.

It's to item description and has worked quite well for me. It took awhile before my turtle warmed up to it, but now he quite enjoys getting up on it. That said, the height is short - so keep in mind it's either going to need something secure underneath. (I do wish the company would make a taller version, with the top floating part expanding higher, since there's really no reason not to make one that would allow for more water depth.)

It looks good but the Floating top does not float at all if your turtle is large. I have a 24 year old turtle who weights about 4-5 pounds and it just goes flat when she tried to use it. I can’t seem to find any basking areas large enough for my turtle. I wish the market was better for products for these creatures.

It arrived broken with a lot of small loose pieces. I liked that this was big enough for my turtle, but was enclosed so he wouldn’t go underneath it and get stuck. But with it being broken, it defeats the entire reason.

I got this as my Turtle needed a basking area and i needee something that looked pleasant. This bad boy is awesome and shes on it almost all the time. My only gripe is that the paint was chipped on some of the branches but other than that its beautiful

Thought this turtle platform would be nice for my turtles, even though I was concerned about the reviews that said theirs arrived broken. Well I just received mine today and guess what... it’s was broken in the box. I am so annoyed.

Awesome piece.

My husband and I really like the way it looks.
