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.

WEAVERBIRD Double Turtle Basking Platform
WEAVERBIRD Homeware
(For reference, he’s in what I believe is somewhere between 150-200 gallon tank) It’s good but this big guy sinks it a bit. I put his old ZooMed basking spot underneath it to help with buoyancy (as seen in a different review of this product) and it seems to be helping a bit. Within the first few hours of it being in his tank, he managed to pop off the ramp so if you have a way to secure the ramp in place then I would suggest doing so. I was a little hesitant at first to purchase it as i was worried it would be too small but after reading reviews and looking at the measurements provided in the pictures, I decided to try it. It’s the perfect size for him and he’s able to fully turn around on it if needed. He struggles a little bit to get on due to the ramp be a little on the smaller side and kinda poorly made but, he is in fact able to get on it after using a little strength. He likes to try and pop the suction cups off the bottom and has nearly gotten himself stuck under the bottom bars so to fix that we put his log to kinda block him from doing that. The gravel chamber holds water so i would recommend drilling small drain holes in that to keep it from holding any unfiltered water.

I bought this product a couple years ago and is still one of the best things I’ve gotten for my red eared slider! She loves basking on it and cleaning it off is so easy! It does get algae on it from being under the lights but with an old toothbrush or sponge it cleans up really nicely. Super sturdy which was really important to me since my turtle is so big! She also likes to go underneath of it which has been her favorite place to sleep. I would be a bit more concerned if she shared a tank with another turtle but since she’s by herself I’ve had no problems with her getting stuck. Overall great purchase for the price! ( sorry about the picture I’ll try to take more to show it off better)

I'll also say that my turtle acclimated to this platform really fast. I was worried it would take her a while to get on top, but she took to it right away. I was also worried about the ramp, which seemed like it would be too small--in pictures it looks like it doesn't dip down into the water enough to get on easily. She has no problem climbing it at all! It's at a perfect incline for her to climb up or slide down. She loves it! I've even found her sitting right on the ramp, just hanging out there. This isn't a flawless product, but at this price point, I'm very happy with it.
Best storebought basking platform for larger turtles.

I love the size of this. Fits very nicely in my 75 gallon tank and offers a ton of space for my slider to bask without taking away swim space. The construction seems very good! After reading a review where the customer used columns to support the platform instead of relying on the buoyancy, I was worried this thing wouldn't be able to hold my turtle's weight, but so far it entirely has. If your turtle is bigger, it may be an issue, but it's an easy fix if you're willing to get something like columns to support it with. Like everyone else is saying, the gravel-holding divet in this piece is a nuisance, which is why I deducted a star. I probably should have sealed the whole divet up with silicone before even putting this in my tank and I definitely recommend that anyone who purchase this do so--alternatively, you could drill holes in the bottom of the divet so that it doesn't end up holding stagnant water (could potentially turn it into a planter this way), or you could even saw off the bottom of the divet entirely. I'll likely do one of these soon but in the meantime, it's acting as a planter tray for some fake plants to give my turtle a little privacy and I'll just have to clean it out every now and then. The smooth plastic surface doesn't seem ideal for my turtle, so I'm thinking about getting textured reptile liner to use on top, though that will be another component that needs regular cleaning. This is still hands down the best storebought basking platform I could find for my turtle, who quickly outgrew the ZooMed floating platform and had been basking on a cork flat wedged into her tank ever since. I upgraded her tank significantly this week and not only can I not find a cork flat big enough to wedge into a 75 gallon, I wouldn't want to, since they grow mold and get weak over time. I did a ton of research and this is the best thing I could find that I didn't have to DIY. I'm hoping it will be a much more permanent option, and so far it does seem that it will be. I'll update this review should that change.Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 14, 2019

It's a little wobbly and goes underwater when my turtle climbs onto it but he is a big boy so maybe it's just me.

All in all, it's fine and looks good but they are already quite "cozy" and they keep growing so not sure when it will need to be upgraded.

The main issue I had with it, was even though it was shoved right up to the side of the tank, it left a gap at the edges that my turtles were determined to go behind, constantly getting stuck.
It was a similar issue with the height of the water, it didn't raise the platform high enough, so that my turtles were getting their shell stuck underneath the middle section and struggling to get out.
It's great quality, nice and sturdy, but I did have a few issues.
