I just found this basking platform. Has anyone used it and is it any good?

I have 2 turts, 5.5-6".

Any feedback would be MUCH appreciated :)

I haven't used it but it's similar to one that a lot of people (myself included) have used. I don't think it's large enough for both turts to bask together tho.

Thanks PinkyTurtle. I did see that one, but I thought this other Tera Rep one I found might fit both my turtles better. The upper platform is the full length instead of only half. I see though that it's only 3.5in wide. Maybe my turtles could practice their balancing skills, lol.

Tohmit, I have the Drs Foster and Smith one. I bought the medium size. They both fit on it, stacked. They don't seem to have figured out that one can stay on the low part while the other goes high. :) Seems like a tight fit to me (my guys are 4 and 5 inches, about), but they seem to like it. I have another dock they never use. I like the plexi because it stays relatively clean!!

This is a GREAT ramp, basking area. Its all we have ever used. My girl Ive had since she was quarter sized NEVER got on anything at all that moved even a bit. So this was great!

But now since she is 4 yrs old and 9 1/2 inches long...had to order to Magna Float magnet (aquar. cleaner) to put under the suction cups since her weight makes it slide down the slide alot....Other than that, they are the best Ive seen so far!
