I don't know about the sizes but be sure whatever you get is plenty big so there's no possible way your turtle could get stuck in it.

I believe they do come in different sizes, but if you're planning on using the floating log for the basking area, you'll have to somehow anchor it so it says under the basking light :)

The floating dock is made for baby turtles...larger ones will probably make it sink.

They seem to love it. I am watching them carefully though, because I know it will be too small before too long. They sleep on it and in it, and like to skulk in it waiting for fish!
