Zoo Med Floating Turtle Log

great

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

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!

Our turtle likes it. And uses it to bask. These things come in different sizes, so make sure that you order one that is a good size for your turtle.

LOVE THIS TURTLE DOCK MY TURTLE WHILE HE WAS A BABY WOULD BASK ON THIS ALL THE TIME WHEN NOT BASKING HE WOULD USE IT HAS A BOAT

Just what I was looking for my turtle loves it I had to bring him in for the winter and needed something for him and it works great. Fast shipping, expected it in 7 days received it in 4

We bought this for our 2 water turtles who are now about 4-5 in diameter. They love to get in it, and poke their heads out the holes. We find them in it, more than on top of it. But, they really seem to like that they have a place to hide, but keep their heads above water. Floats well, and doesnt spin over. Ours did not have a suction cups, and no obvious way to attach to aquarium, so it is free floating.

We started with a turtle dock from this company that attaches to the sides of the aquarium with suction cups. This initially worked well, but as our turtle grew larger he started knocking the dock loose, and he was getting too big for the dock (he is about 5 inches long). We saw this turtle log which looked ideal for him. The log works great for him to get on top of, but he started going in and out of the log and got stuck. It took me about 30 minutes to get him loose. He got stuck again about a week later. We reduced the amount of water in our tank so that if he gets stuck he wont drown. Right now I am looking for an alternative (I am guessing a wooden log or ramp) to this log. The log is made hallow through the middle, and depending on how our turtle crawls through he often makes it in and out okay, but at other times becomes wedged in tightly. He gets so stuck it is difficult to get him out. Im not sure what this company wss thinking in making this log hollow. Our turtle doesnt seem to need to hide or seek privacy--he simply roams about his tank and gets stuck in this stupid log when doing so. A responsible company would have made this log solid (maybe with a hollow center) so that turtles could not get stuck and potentially die! We paid way too much for this and in return we have to find something else before this kills our turtle. If you have a really small turtle or a really large one, this log would be fine, but if yours is mid-sized like ours--DO NOT BUY THIS LOG--it will kill your turtle!

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).
