Zoo Med Floating Turtle Log

I have two eastern painted turtles that are getting used to it in the tank. Gives them something to explore. So far they are using it.

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

The turtle loves it. He sits on it most of the day. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is it floats around the tank instead of staying under the light, and since he is a basking turtle staying in place is crucial. Maybe it is the strength of the filter pushing it, maybe weigh it down heavier in the future.

This is just perfect for our turtles. They both bask on it, while the shier one likes to hide inside the log. I do have a concern, based on the more negative reviews, that as he grows the hollow will become a problem rather than an attribute, but right now there is no problem. I have to admit that the way it floats to and from around the tank can irritate me, but the turtles really do like it, and it is their tank. Adds a nice rutic, natural element to the tank.

Was v skeptical about buying but turns out, it’s GREAT! We have it outside in our 140 gallon turtle/fish pond and our red earred sliders took right to it & they swim and sleep inside and will climb on top and bask (it really doesn’t roll over either) they absolutely love it! BTW pretty sure this is my first ever Amazon review! Must BUY!

I have an RES hatchling and he has finally begun to use this log. In the beginning, I was worried that it was too steep for him to climb up... but thats not the case at all. He slowly started to warm up to me and started begging for food at every single opportunity he got... so I got sneaky. I started putting the food pellets on top of this log. When I came home from work, I noticed them to be mysteriously gone. Was he actually basking during the day? Had I been worried for nothing? Gradually, he started to feel comfortable going on his log even when I was in the same room. He now regularly perches on top of his log and extends his cute little head out for some UVA/UVB lights :-) Mine is a baby, less than an inch, and is faring well. The log is bottom heavy so it will NOT tip over. I plunk it in the water upside down and it immediately rights itself over. It is not sharp so when he slides off it to go back in the water I am not worried about his shell getting scratched. It is aesthetically pleasing and natural looking. Definite buy!

Ok this is the best thing ever!!! Outdoor pond and our turtle LOVES IT! He threw his little turtle suitcases away and has completely moved in! So many basking platforms, etc. for aquariums. This is the BEST option for outdoor ponds. It floats and is stable for our turtle (ok he could leave whenever he wants but wont now for sure)! Saw the reviews about it losing buoyancy. OK so if I gotta buy one every year it will be worth the money!

My turtle loves it! I used to have two hatchlings in my tank & they both loved to go in & stick their heads out. I’ve since separated them & kept the shy turtle in & he loves the log. He will eventually not fit inside but he also uses the top to bask.

Purchased for my pond turtle, Walter. I read conflicting reviews about whether it floats or not...it does! We stuck it in the pond and Walter loves it. Hes an adult red eared slider, about 7-8 inches, and loves to climb on top of it to bask. It supports him well. Our pond fish love swimming through it too, especially when buzzards go overhead, though Ive yet to see our frogs use it. Will be buying more soon!
