Posted: Mon Jul 18, 2005 11:49 pmHi, can turtle dock users tell me if this product is strong enough to hold turtles on top of it without sliding down? Thank you.

Not strong enough to hold your turtles?
Posted: Tue Jul 19, 2005 1:35 pmNo, I just have one, he's fairly small, it's just like cracking and pieces are falling off, etc.
Posted: Tue Jul 19, 2005 1:45 pmi bought the large one and didn't like it. it easily cracked and was powdery.

Anyone have used this? Is the surface of this dock level with the water?
Can someone post the pictures of this turtle dock set up? Thanks.

only negative is that the paint will fade after scrubbing the platform after algae forms. however it is solid and will last.

The larger one is falling apart.. cracked where the ramp starts going down into the water and the floaty part that is on the underside is coming out too. So its time to find an alternative for basking. Yes, and mine got algae on the part in the water too. Never did come clean.

If you check the Photo Gallery you're bound to see a zoo med dock in some of the pics. The dock sits level on the top of the water and will adjust to the height of the water. When I first bought it I was skeptical because the large docks are surprisingly heavy, but they really do float!
