A guy on another forum finally found a place that sells them. they are manufactured by Pet Tech. They have all the sizes too. Mine is the largest one, btw.

Nice! Petmountain is a great place too order online. They normally don't ship too Canada, but I emailed them and asked if they could. They responded right away and said they would ship to me if I didn't buy any food related products

How large of turtles can it handle?

[francinemarie]

i'd also like to know how big of a turtle this dock can handle

[Chrisbarnett]

Well to give an idea, squirt is 3 1/4" and when he gets on the dock, it does not sink down at all.

I've seen one at Petsmart before.

hmm, you have the largest dock right? is it 15" long? & how many inches wide is it? my turtle is 6 inches long & probably around 4 inches wide

Wow they look pretty nice, like my old one but it got too small :[ so i went to zoomed.. the thing about those i like best, is because they get warm because of the material and the turtles like the warmness on their bellies.. zoomed doesn't attract heat :[

[Chrisbarnett]

yes 15" long, 7.5" wide.

I had the smaller one when I first started. My RES could only hang onto it, but it could not submerged enough to give them easy access. I wonder how Squirt is doing it...

[Chrisbarnett]

at first he had a bit of a hard time, because of it not submerging, but now he knows where to get up now, and he has a little manuever he pulls off. kinda gets his front feet up there, rocks forward, gets the back feet up there, rocks back, and heaves himself up there.

I would like to see that!

I was at Hobby Lobby today and decided to see how much it would cost to get some plexiglass for an above tank basking area. It was I think $36 but they said I could get it cheaper at Lowes. I told them that I would do what someone on here suggested and ask if they have some big enough scrap peices I could use and the people at Hobby Lobby said that they would cut if for me for $00.50 per cut.

So if I can get a big enough scrap peice it will cost less than $10 for the plexi-glass and peice of tile!
