Zoo Med Floating Turtle Log

My turtles LOVE this log! They climb in and on it all the time. They also bask on it.

This product is awesome. Turtles took to it right away. My turtles are large. Holds their weight, they are able to bask and go in and out of logs. At night that is where they rest for sleep. I strongly recommend this product. Looks good in tank too. Quality? Top Notch!

The turtles love it!

Bastante grande y mis tortugas están felices. Les cuesta un poco subír pero eso les ayuda a fortalecerse. Con el tiempo se suben con más facilidad

I bought this for my baby map turtle. He has quickly grown to 4”-5” from top of shell to bottom. The log itself is really stable and floats above water nice. The problem itself seems to be large turtles and the logs floatation. My log lost buoyancy after a few months and took in water. I already added the plastic packaging styrofoam type of material inside the log to raise it higher in the water. To lift it higher I added a thicker layer of some packing foam I had saved prior and conveniently black in color. I also solved the problem of the log floating around by adding a zoo-med magnet with line tied around one of its holes to the inside magnet clip. This works perfect. My set up is actually under my YouTube channel: JJLTX

I came across this Turtle Log and although I do not have a turle, I thought that maybe the fish I have would like it. They did!!! I have caught my SP44 cichlids spawning/breeding a couple days after I introduced it to the tank. The log looks real and has several holes for the fish to swim through. It floats great and has maybe an inch or so above the water line. I would rinse it well with warm water though. The one I received had a oil coating or something on it maybe from production that might hurt the turtle or fish. I rinsed, wiped down with a clean towel, and rinsed it again just to make sure. Also, it could have been from the styrofoam packaging. Anywho, its cool, looks good, and the chicks dig it... Love, Peace, and hair grease :)

My 5 aquatic turtle loves this log. He basks on top of it, moves it around his habitat, and hides from his pet goldfish inside it. Sometimes hes inside for hours with his neck stretched out the sidehole so the tip of his snout reaches fresh air. He stands under it and pushes it around the habitat, and positions it sometimes so the fish cant bother him. Ive had this log for my turtle for over 2 years and just love it. Its easy to clean and my turtle is the right size that he doesnt get stuck. I will report back if he outgrows it but for now hes been totally fine.

My Mississippi Map Turt loves this in our outdoor water garden pond

I love how it floats and no suction cups are needed

I have this in my 65 gallon tank and it’s great. It is free floating and so it moves around a lot but I think my turtle enjoys that, his filter kind of keep the log in one corner. It’s definitely his favorite thing to sun bathe on. I had to get another platform in addition to this one to feed him ok because this one rocks so much when he climbs on that he will dump all his food in the water. But overall it’s definitely his favorite spot to be either inside it or on top of it.
