Habitat - Indoor :: Hi, how big of a turtle can a Zoo Med Turtle Dock Hold? 6&qu

[redearcoma]

Just wondering if people who've used this dock can tell me if this turtle dock is stable enough to hold a 6" RES. THanks.

Which size dock do you have? Mine is a large and it holds my 2 approximately 4" turtles. It doesn't even budge. I know others use it too.. so just wait for more replies

I have a large and it holds both my 5in res. The medium and small would definetly be to small for yours.

Oh, I see, thx, I think I'll get a large for my turtle then.

One more question, I've heard that these turtle docks tend to break off easily , any similar experiences?

Thanks

out of the box, mine was powdery and there were cracks in it. sent it back the next day.

I've ordered a few and received them broken or damaged too. I sent them back and got replacements for free. Some of them hold together really well, others crack and start to fall apart after not too long. I guess it just depends on who put it together.

i have a small for my 4 inch turtle, I don't know if it holds yet because he hasn't gone on it so far though.

I want to get some sort of replacement because i'm afraid this wont work/last long, but the only things i can find are like just a rock, but I have no way off keeping it above the water!! What can I do to fix this?

How big is your tank? If you check the gallery sect, PVC supported platforms are very DIY friendly.

some other options are

I've never used it or shopped at their site. From the description, it sounds kind of small but there are other platforms that are similar.
