Best Mooring Destroyer Turtle

We had so much trouble finding a mooring big enough for our turtle that she couldn't knock it over. Most docks have suction cups to stick to the glass, but she just taps them off. We tried the magnets, which worked for a while until she pulled the stand completely off the dock. This dock is designed to float and move a little, attached to a bag of rocks that keeps it on the ground. It worked, but I had so many extra ropes that I tied them to the stair railing. The dock is huge and easy for ourโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Heavy Duty
Cons
  • Not Bad

Best option for large tanks

This is a very large turtle landing (island). I have a 75 gallon tank that is 4 feet wide and takes up 50% of its 2 foot width. However, it is much better than other turtle docks. You don't have to worry about the suction cups constantly detaching themselves or your turtle getting stuck behind the dock and removing the suction cups. My advice: cut the rope as short as possible so the island will bounce back when your turtles push you, and fill the bag almost completely with pebbles so yourโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Lots of room to swim

I finally installed this Floating Turtle Dock (XL) in my turtle's 75 gallon aquarium and so far I'm happy! It occupies almost half of the aquarium, but because it floats there is so much swimming space underneath. Only one turtle has gone for it so far, but I'll give her a few more to see if the others figure it out. It's big enough for all 4 of my turtles (ages 5-6) and the box says it can hold 2 full size turtles which I believe. The only downside is that the dock is floating and thereforeโ€ฆ

  • Best in the niche

Turtles like it best in terrariums

I have a small pond in my garden and a few years ago, to my great surprise, a turtle moved into it. I bought cork bark for sunny locations which worked fine for a while but it got wet so I needed a replacement. I was planning to build a small floating turtle dock when I saw it was recommended on a herpes website. Being lazy by nature, I decided to give them a try even though they seemed a bit overpriced. He came quickly, I put him in the pond and almost immediately a turtle crawled onto him. It

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Update available

So far this has been the best I have done for my indoor turtle tank. It leaves enough room for my fast growing baby barnacles to swim and also provides enough space to swim. no Bathroom sink. when they climb it. Literally my only complaint is that my little friend loves to sunbathe so much that he has adopted it and won't let his big sister near him when he's there. no reason to complain, she usually misbehaves in the water so this pier helped him gain confidence. : I also appreciate that theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • So so

Reptile & Amphibian Platform XL

There is nothing an adult turtle could use in a pond. You have to build something, so I was excited when I saw that. My girl loves the carp pond I have mostly because it's not easy to deal with a large tank that likes a 7 inch turtle that can grow to 12 inches. Anyway, when I saw it, I bought it. I don't think the price matches it and it's definitely overpriced. I don't really like this stuff because it stays wet and doesn't dry very well. It bled when I cleaned it and the platform doesn't stay

Pros
  • Cool Product
Cons
  • No
