Zoo Med TD-30 Turtle Dock, Small

Nice but...
Nice basking area but it has two serious problems: first of all if your turtle is a bit heavier (mine is 2+ years male) the platform will go under the water level a bit and their underside (plastron?) will not dry up properly. Second your turtle might try to nip at it like mine did. There is also a chance they may eat some of it but in most turtle forums i looked in, i found out that there is no danger (or lets hope there is not).

All and all it is a convienient solution BUT it could be alot better. If you have hatchlings or male yearlings i think it would do its job just fine for a year at least, so it is not a bad investment.

Btw the color is not like picture in any way. What i got is mostly blackish dark green with some brown and some brighter green (it looks more like a mossy rock).

A little warning...
I bought the small and large Zoo Med Floating Turtle platforms, I thought they were novel, useful etc.

After the first few days, noticed one of the turtles started biting chunks out of it, easily ripping small particles off and spitting them back out, on the 4th day the other had joined in.
Whilst they were using the platforms for sunbathing and chewing apart, the particles they were ripping off quickly clogged the external filters and caused a lot of unsightly floating mess in the aquarium, not to mention the large female was trying to consume them (keeping a keen eye on her at the moment to ensure they haven't made her ill).

We have since replaced both of these with some good ol' solid slate blocks from our local garden centre.
