A nice try, but I have to say I'm not too keen on that piece of wood for the ramp. If it's thin plywood, it's been treated; it also eventually will rot.

Can you make a ramp out of corkbark or plexiglass (with something for traction siliconed to it)?

Munkley, I'm going to move this thread to the Indoor Habitat section, where it's a better fit. People use this section, Urgent Care, when there's an urgent health situation. You'll probably get more comments if you post to the most appropriate section each time you post.

Marisa is correct, plywood even if it's treated will rot in the water. And I'm not sure of the angle, can your turt even get on the ramp?

I dont know about you, but my turtle usually climbs right up the side of the basking dock. He has easy access to the ramp... :roll:
