How big is she? How big is the tank? What kind o dock are you using? You can either buy a larger version or make one if an adult can help you.

My turtle is about that size and I have a suction cup dock that works fine, where did you get your dock? If you cannot get to a chain store like petsmart you can always order online- that is where I purchased mine from.

Here's links to two popular ones that a lot of people on the site use:

To the best of my knowledge the common docks come in small medium and large. I use a large dock for two 4 inch RES. They both fit on the dock together, so we're talking 8 inches of turtle on a large dock. I've read where someone used a second dock under the first one (Attached to the same poles) just to add extra support.
