Zoo Med Floating Turtle Log

This log is nice for baby turtles, or to sit on the bottom of the tank. But as a floating log it flipped our turtle upside down.

It floats and my mud turtle likes hiding inside it.

My turtles love their log! Im so glad that I got it for them. I wish that it was larger, so that it could last them for a long time. Sometimes all 3 try to get on top, 2 can sit up there. They look so cute peeking out of the window! I love it!

5 star

Worked great as expected. It takes up a lot of space of our 40 gallon breeder tank. Our two must turtles love it however think I would buy the medium size if I were to do it again.

The Styrofoam that it came in was disintegrated and made a mess when I opened it and took forever to rinse it off the log and made another mess with wet pieces of wet styrofoam. The log itself was fine but packaging was horrible

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.

I actually found the aquarium log series by the same company better for turtles than zoo meds turtle log. Pretty much the same thing in every size except for hole placement- the aquarium logs have a hole on top, where if size matches enough they can stand up inside, poke their head out the top & look around as they float around inside it. A position mine seems to like a lot anyway. Unless you dont have a dedicated basking area & need the entire log top surface for basking too, Id recommend the aquarium log version. Also this particular turtle log seemed to be made of less dense, cheaper material than the aquarium logs. The one I got.

good price, our turtle likes it.

so the claim that this log will “never sink” is simply false. i got one of these for my eastern painted turtle years ago, and after maybe 2ish years, it began to sink and is now to the point that it doesn’t float at all. in addition to that, the paint comes off over time, especially if you clean it with a toothbrush like i do (which is kind of necessary in my opinion as it collects algae in all the little crevices). so, i decided it was finally time to replace it. my turtle really likes the log and often prefers it to his basking dock. sometimes he’ll even sleep on the log. i’d give it 5 stars if it truly never sunk but considering that it takes multiple years to lose its buoyancy, it still gets 4 stars.
