Habitat - Indoor :: Super Turtle Dock?

[pajamatree]

Has anyone ever tried to nail or drill a hole into one of the Zoo Med Turtle Docks? I was thinking of tying two together to make a big one for Gnarles but I'm not sure how to go about doing it.

Do you have any ideas or anything?
Do you think it would it just break?

you could glue them together. plexiglass silicon works wonderfully (trust me, i used it)

[pajamatree]

hmm, that's a good idea.

Thanks

I think I've seen one that someone put a larger one on top of a smaller one (for extra floatation. I think they siliconed it together, then put it on the same bar.

On a couple of different occasions, someone had their turtle eat a nail/screw. For a dock, I'd go for something completely natural (cork bark) or indestructible (pvc/tile).

You could drill holes in each dock and then zip tie them together.

I would just go with silicone. Seems like the easiest and cleanest looking way to go.

That's what I was planning on doing but I'm afraid if I drill the holes the whole thing will break.


I'll probably just got with the silicone.

this is probably a bad idea, but could you crazy glue the two docks together?

It won't break if you drill them. its just styro material.

There is also a very large turtle dock I saw at a pet shop the other day. I didn't know they made them that large. I don't know the exact size but it was large. I don't know how big you turtle is.

I've been trying to find the large around here. They had it once when the turtles where little, and I figured I'd just buy that once they grew up, but now they're all grown up and none of the pet stores carry it anymore. :/

i drilled holes in my dock so i could attach it to the shelf on the inside of my tank.

i drilled 2 x 12mm holes in one end then took two of the suction cups that came with it and stuffed them i the holes then just stuck it on. ill post pic tomorrow

It definitely shouldn't break if you drilled holes in it. If you want a large dock and the stores don't sell them, you could order it online or ask the stores to order one for you.
