Penn-Plax Reptology Floating Turtle Pier and Basking Platform

Decorative, Functional, and Naturally Inspired

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. The platform rises and lowers with your tank's waterline; it does not stay fixated at the same height, unless placed in an enclosure that's without water. In addition to providing a better view, it also allows for more interaction between you and your favorite friend!

  • 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.
  • In addition to serving as a basking platform that allows your pet to dry off and regulate temperature, the Floating Turtle Pier also satisfies their natural instinct to hide and rest underneath.

Product description

Reptology Large Turtle Pier provides your pet with a healthier, more natural environment while giving you a new way to interact with your aquatic pet. Sculpted in a traditional pier design, the Turtle Pier is great for turtles, frogs, newts and salamanders and is designed to give your pet a more natural aquatic environment while allowing you to use your entire tank for water. The deeper water eliminates most filtration restrictions giving your pet a cleaner more spacious area for swimming. Designed to fit most 20 gallon or larger tanks, the Turtle Pier has a platform base that is 16-Inch long x 11-Inch wide with a ramp extending 5-Inch from the 16-Inch side. The Turtle Pier's floating platform rests just above the water line on four 12-Inch pilons that can be extended to 16-Inch with the four 4-Inch extensions (included) so your turtle can rest out of the water for basking while saving space in your tank. Each pilon has a suction cup so you can affix each securely to the bottom of your tank to prevent shifting. The floating platform allows for evaporation and will rise or fall with the water level up to 16-Inch and can be set as low as 3-Inch for low or no-water environments. A docking ramp provides your pet an easy climb to the upper level where they can bask and eat. Each platform has a bin for gravel (not included) that can be used to provide counterbalance for your large turtle when they climb the ramp. Reptology Turtle Piers are easily assembled and made of a durable plastic that is easy to clean and is safe for both children and pets.

Fun design, works well
The size of this platform is great. I was worried because it’s light weight that it might tip when my turtle got on it but it doesn’t. I didn’t add ‘rocks’ as suggested and it works fine. He’s pretty big (6.5” shell).The suction cups stick to the glass but they slide so I had to tie one of the posts so it stayed under his heating light.I’ve only had it 4 weeks but it’s easy to clean and my turtle likes swimming under the platform and under the pieces stabilizing the legs.
Thank you for your feedback

Looks just like the photo, assembly was easy. My turtle likes it. The suction is ok but doesn’t stick that much to the bottom of my tank. The platform sinked but my turtle is big and fat so I used some wire to make it level. Also the basking part still came off even with rocks for the extra balancing like it suggests but I fixed that with super glue over all it’s a great product

I have two adult female RES, they can both fit on it somewhat comfortably. It's sturdy and such an upgrade from the styrofoam dock I used to buy for $40 that my turtles would end up eating. I bought this last year for around $22, the price doubled up of course but it's definitely worth $40 in comparison to zoo-med which needed constant replacing and was poorer quality.

Love it so far!! Bigger than i imagined and it does float cuz my turtle is still a little guy... Although hes 9 years old...He's still scared to go on the platform fully but maybe in a couple days. I had a very complex tank setup in the past with rocks and all sorts but i wanted something simple and easy to clean. Hopefully my turtle will get used to this setup.

UPDATE: My turtle absolutely loves his new home and the platform. He's so much happier now. However, I just wanted to make a note that the suction cups are starting to slowly lift off the glass...not sure what to do. I think I need to buy higher quality suction cups to replace the stock ones. Still love the platform tho! It really does float for my little guy.

Save yourself some aggravation. This dock is rickety, and the suction cups constantly detach. The description should say that this "large" dock is unsuitable for a large mature turtle! It loosens and tips when the turtle knocks against the footings. The ramp is way too small and too short. The turtle is unable to climb up. The basking area on top is roomy, but this is a floating dock, so it is covered with a thin layer of water, so the turtle's plastron (underside of shell) is never fully dry. When the turtle leaves the dock, it tilts precariously. There is nothing about this dock that is worth the pricetag.

Very similar experience with many of the other reviewers: 1) with my 7'' turtle, the platform sinks when he gets on it and water stays on it. It makes the tank water evaporate faster and wet basking area is not ideal for the turtle; 2) the suction cups really SUCK! They come off when my turtle is trying to get on the dock and the dock literally moves everywhere in the tank. I wish it wasn't designed as a floating dock but just fixed-height. I'm keeping it but will keep looking for better options.

It took 5 days for our turtle to get used to this but he loves it the suction cups stick to the bottom they haven’t moved. He likes to float under the platform, when he is basking it doesn’t sink like most of the floating docks we have had. It also doesn’t look tacky and hasn’t gotten dirty easily!

No hemos podido estrenarla de manera adecuada porque el estanque de mis tortugas es pequeño para la plataforma y les queda poco espacio alrededor para maniobrar. Aún así, lo pongo un rato para que tomen el sol y están muy a gusto en esta. Ahora que me llegue su estanque más grande podremos evaluarlo a mayor detalle. Pero, mientras tanto, le doy una buena calificación porque mis tortugas lo están disfrutando.
