Zoo Med Floating Turtle Log

Turtle loves to hide in this log. It is weighted perfectly to where log dosent go all the way under water and it just floats around in the water.

I have two smaller painted turtles who both love to bask upon this log. I have had this log for about three years now, and while it does show some wear (ala color loss due to the lamps) it still works fine. However, if you do have larger turtles it might be best to not buy this product (most pet stores have this in stock, so you can go over there to get an idea to see how big this actually is).

Still floating and providing a sunny place for my pet turtle. He enjoys it although he’s not too smart, so I named him Biden.

This log is perfect for my two hatchling res. They are about six months old and 3 and 2 inches respectively. The log is their favorite place to bask, although we use it as a secondary area since it doesnt remain securely placed under the lights. The larger turtle barely fits through the side openings at this point, but still has plenty of room to swim through the end openings. I was hoping they would put out a larger version for as my little guys get bigger.

good thing is it does float, bad thing is my turtles has never once climb on it at all. However, the fishes love it as they gather underneath it a lot, its not entirely useless, so I guess it still works out for me.

My turtles love it. They sit on the log and rock it back and forth for hours

5 star

Our turtle loves her log. We have a small pond in our backyard and I ordered this so our turtle could sun bathe. Its perfectly weighted and stays afloat.

This is a great product for my turtle. I started with the zoo med floating turtle dock but then wanted to give this log a try to go with it. Had to buy it used cuz it was too expensive but I’m pretty sure he likes it. I heard some negative reviews about “your turtle will drown” but wanted to take my chances but it’s fine cuz he’s too big to fit inside. Mostly bought it for turtle and cuz it looks realistic and good detail. It actually does float and doesn’t sink to the bottom… Turtle enjoys it a lot I’d say 10 stars and 100% satisfied. Highly recommend for turtle owners. EDIT: about 2 months later, he got stuck inside. 10 minutes after i fed him, I heard him banging on the glass, and i knew something was wrong. i looked and he was stuck inside all the way. apparently, a shrimp got in there. of course, he went after it, and thats what happened... at that point, we were both thinking the same thing: what do I do now? Had to take log out of turtle tank and put it in the bath tub. i tried to gently pull him out from behind, but i couldnt from the front or he couldve bitten me. He was totally stuck inside and i was about to break the log open with my bare hands, hopefully without hurting him. But thankfully i didnt have to cuz he got out, eventually, with my help. The problem was is that when he knew he was stuck, he tried to escape through the way he was facing. thats how he got really stuck cuz for some reason, that side of the log had a smaller opening. so then he tried going out the way he came in, (which wouldve been a good idea) but i dont blame him cuz he just a turtle. I was about to pull him gently from behind, but he was halfway out and I chose not to cuz i didnt know if i was hurting him, i just let him do it himself, cuz he knows what hurts him, but I dont. He got out, thank god. i dont think he was hurt but he looked really stressed, as i was. I was just relieved he was ok. he got nothing to bask on now cuz i threw out the basking dock cuz it broke a while ago. got to buy another dock now i guess. i think what Im trying to say is that this log almost DROWNED my soulmate. I noticed the original review, I said he was too big to fit inside... but that was True though cuz i contacted the seller for questions I had. Well, what i didnt know was that he still COULD get stuck inside. Now i know. its not always what it seems... READERS BEWARE.

Our two red eared sliders love it. They hide inside and bask on the top. Well worth the money. Very happy with this product.
