Habitat - Indoor :: Zoo Med Turtle Dock - Stable?

Hi, can turtle dock users tell me if this product is strong enough to hold turtles on top of it without sliding down? Thank you.

depends on the size of dock and the size of turt i have a small dock and a 5 inch res he got to big for it and i had to get the medium other than that it was good investment'

The large dock holds both my res comfortably. They're almost 5 inches each.

I have the small one for my 2 inch res. works great

[redearcoma]

Thanks for your replies.

I have a 2.5" and a 4"...what you suggest I get? a medium?

Thanks.

Not strong enough to hold your turtles?

[TexasJagsFan]

No, I just have one, he's fairly small, it's just like cracking and pieces are falling off, etc.

i bought the large one and didn't like it. it easily cracked and was powdery.

previously, i used this platform:

i really like this one, but it's height is not adjustable.

Where you think I can get one like that? and what price range?

Hi, I am looking at a Zoo Med Turtle Dock
http://www.reptilica.de/shop/images/ima ... ninsel.jpg

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.

the one in the link is $11.99, they have a small one for $8.99

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

well I have a large and a small, wait flutterby has the small one now. 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!
