You can use anything that's not toxic, safe to get on (won't shift), and will allow your turtle to get on it easily and fully dry off. You could put a flat rock on clay pot for the time being, for example.

My dock is one of those plastic shower organizers. It has suction cups to hold it onto the sides and I just put it in upside down and put a flat rock on it. I think it was 4 or 5 dollars at Walmart.
