🐢 HelloPet Large Turtle Basking Platform: Resting Terrace for Tortoises with Suction Cups - Ideal Fish Tank Aquarium Habitat Platform Review

I bought this dock for my turtle because it was the best price. It turns out this works best too. It doesn't float like the others so you'll have to keep the tank full, but other than that it's the best dock I've found so far.

So far so good! The dock looks very durable and really sticks to the glass. Suckers are great. My tortoise loves to sunbathe on this jetty. The only downside is that it's clear and he bumps into it sometimes. And it took him a while to get used to finding and mounting it, but once he figured it out, it was amazing. It is definitely better than the other more expensive manure vacuum docks! My little guy is about 5-6 inches long and this is perfect for him.

Let me clarify that this item is indeed CLEAR! Based on the photos I assumed it would be white? My tortoise couldn't figure it out I guess because she can't see it? He's floating, crashing into him (I think), confused by some unseen force above his head. It's been 3 days and he still hasn't reached the top! I put it there a couple of times but it doesn't stay. The good points are the suction cups are very strong and hold in place, just wish my turtle could see that!

My RESlider is 7 inches tall so doesn't fit well on the fancy little floating platforms that are everywhere. He's not chirping from that broad base like last time. This one isn't big enough to hold half of its 10-gallon tank either. (I know. He needs a bigger tank but we have nowhere to put him.) The only improvement I would ask for is some texture on the ramp itself to make it easier for him to climb onto the platform. Its claws now sometimes appear in holes. Yes, it would be a real nightmare…

I have the smallest and it is larger than I expected. and it can bear weight and the suction cups are very strong and durable, especially the screw type that helps stick to the glass, which was a great thing, it's helpful for people with arthritis to install it. Another highlight is that you can see through the platform, so you don't lose sight of your aquarium or other water features. Or lose the lighting because it shines through the platform. This is a must have for any turtle aquarium.

Great suction power! The suction cups are very strong and it's very easy for me to install them. If you rotate it on the wall of the aquarium, the air seems to be pushed out and they suck quite a bit. However, my turtle had trouble seeing this invisible surface. I thought it was white in the picture but it's actually transparent. My turtle was so confused at first. I tried a couple of times to lure him onto the platform with food so he began to understand that there was an invisible surface…
