Your cart is empty. Reptology presents the Floating Turtle Pier and Basking Platform by Penn-Plax.
This pier floats slightly above the waterline inside your tank.
This feature allows your pet to rest and eat outside of the water.
In addition to providing a better view, it also allows for more interaction between you and your favorite friend!
Secure Supports:
The pier’s platform rests upon 4 pylon supports that are attached with suction cups that connect to the bottom surface of a tank.
For a strong and secure bond, please clean and wash the suction cups with water before placing inside tank,
as well as the contact areas at the bottom of the tank.
The cleaner they are, the stronger the bond!
Easy Access for Pets:
The docking ramp allows your pet to easily climb onto the upper level of the pier.
Furthermore, the pier’s platform has a built-in gravel bin that’s used to counterbalance the weight of your pet as they enter the ramp.
*Gravel sold separately
Decorative & Naturally Inspired:
In addition to serving as a basking platform that allows your pet to dry off and regulate temperature,
the Reptology Floating Turtle Pier also satisfies their natural instinct to hide and rest underneath.
This piece is great for terrariums and other reptile habitats that don’t have water.
Additional Info:
The Reptology Floating Turtle Pier is designed for tanks that are 20 gallons or larger.
The Basking Platform measures 16” (D) x 11” (W) x 1.25 (H),
The ramp extends the length to 20.5".
In addition, the pylon supports are adjustable in height,
from as low as 3” for setups without water, and up to 16” with water.

I have this in a 60gallon for my RES, it does take up a bit but they love to swim under it and hang out on the ramp. I deducted a start because the bottom part does get loose easily and they suction cups get loose during tank cleaning but it’s manageable.

Amzing! I literally read all the reviews before I bought this. Knowing I have a 30 gallon tank and the platform is big. I still bought it and I love it, yes it is big but my turtles still have plenty of room. very durable floats well, easy to assemble, suction works great, my turtles love it and look like they are comfortable up there, it functions the way its suppose to and does not sink. Definatly worth my money.

This is a cute basking platform with big surface area! Which is nice. My turtle had a bit of an issue navigating the under part of it getting caught a bit (she gets caught in everything to be fair). I ended up make-shifting the platform a bit so i didn't need the bottom! Which worked but once she got too heavy it didn't hold her up. Definitely not the worst on the market though!

I have purchased different platforms for our turtle but they ended up not working well (the magnet ones) - I have had this for quite sometime now and it is perfect for our turtle. He feels very secure basking on it and it is very sturdy and goes up and down with the water level - can highly recommend

Wasn’t sure about the price. Our aquatic turtles love it and use it all the time. Accurate description. Good value for the money. Fits perfectly in 70 gallon tank andLeaves swimming room. Easy to assemble. Good quality and no missing parts. Will buy again for our other tank.

Sympa pour ma tortue ! Bon produit, qui a l'air solide et parfait pour durer dans le temps en plus d'être jolie !Au delà de mes espérance !Juste domage qu'il n'y ai pas une rampe un peu plus longue pour atteindre le bas de l'aquarium :-)

I have looked for years for a good, stable floating dock/log for my two False Mississippi Map turtles. One of my turtles wasn't having luck getting on and staying dry with my old dock so I knew I needed to start looking again (shell condition issues).This product is awesome! I love how big it is and how well it fit into my 50 gallon aquarium.I did not like the legs. They were ugly with the extra bar towards the base and the legs only held it in place not up. After being frustrated that the suction cups weren't working and the bar was ugly I just took it apart and put the dock and ladder in. My filter has a strong current so it helps keep in in the one end of the aquarium.You can see in the pictures that both of my turtles fit on it together and it does not sink. Reading reviews before I bought this I was worried it may sink with both of them on it, but so far, so good!Now my turtles have extra space to swim and I don't have to look at the legs/bar that originally came with the dock. I also like that the dock is a hard plastic because I can just throw it in the dishwasher once and a while to really get it clean!One thing I can't understand in the design is the gully for rocks. This is a floating dock so WHY would you want to add weight to it? This is my biggest complaint about the product. Now it's just empty and a waste of space. The only weight added to this dock should be the turtle(s). This is also why looking at pictures I thought the legs of this dock held up the platform-they could carry the weight of turtle(s) and the rocks. I was wrong- it truly is a floating dock.Works really well for what I needed but a lot of the parts I didn't end up using. Really glad it is SO big and stays afloat.2021: I ordered a 2nd one because my turtles need to be separated. It is painted very bright colors compared to my first one. Just want to warn ppl that you may get a Christmas dock lol (3rd picture).

I looked around everywhere (it felt like) for a good and sturdy set up for my fire bellied toad tank. I found the foam-floating turtle docks, which felt like they may fall apart. The magnetic turtle docks, which I did accidentally drop one in the pet store and it chipped/broke! (oops) I finally found this gem online - and it is PERFECT!This product is really easy to set up (my 8 year old put it together for me), and provides a sturdy feeding/lounging dock for my fire-bellied toads. I have it in a 20-gallon-long aquarium, which the dimensions are 30" x 12" x 12". You need at least this size of tank for this prodcut. I uploaded a picture so you can see what it looks like. It fits perfectly, with just a tiny bit of room along the 3 sides of this aquarium - it is snug, but doesn't actually rub up or touch against the sides. When in place, it takes up about 60% of the surface of the water, which is exactly what I was looking for, but still provides swimming area for the frogs underneath the dock and on the other side of the tank. I combined this product with a (available on Amazon and way cheaper than what I paid at the local pet store) which is a filter and beautiful waterfall feature, a background cling, a screen top for the 20-gallon-long aquarium, a few dollar-store bags of river rocks for the bottom (you don't want anything that the toads can accidentally injest), a cheap plastic plant, a rather heavy rock/hide on the turtle-pier (along with some of the river rocks) for extra space to hide and decoration (the pier is still completely sturdy under this weight), and a couple of philodendron starts given to me by a co-worker. I think it is a pretty great set-up.This product comes with extenders for the suction-cup columns that keep it in place, so if you have a taller/higher tank, you can make the pier float higher. They are included in the package. Mine is shown with the shorter columns - and they come up right to the screen-top I have on the aquarium. The screen touches them, but they are not pushing up the screen as to allow the frogs to escape.
