Review: Satisfied Customer - Franklin love it and I do to Thank you good sturdy product easy to assemble and I have a big turtle I got my money worth on this one Review: Happy Turtles - edited 2021 - I have looked for years for a good, stable floating dock/log for my two False Mississippi Map turtles. One of my turtles wasn't having luck getting on and staying dry with my old dock so I knew I needed to start looking again (shell condition issues). This product is awesome! I love how big it is and how well it fit into my 50 gallon aquarium. I did not like the legs. They were ugly with the extra bar towards the base and the legs only held it in place not up. After being frustrated that the suction cups weren't working and the bar was ugly I just took it apart and put the dock and ladder in. My filter has a strong current so it helps keep in in the one end of the aquarium. You can see in the pictures that both of my turtles fit on it together and it does not sink. Reading reviews before I bought this I was worried it may sink with both of them on it, but so far, so good! Now my turtles have extra space to swim and I don't have to look at the legs/bar that originally came with the dock. I also like that the dock is a hard plastic because I can just throw it in the dishwasher once and a while to really get it clean! One thing I can't understand in the design is the gully for rocks. This is a floating dock so WHY would you want to add weight to it? This is my biggest complaint about the product. Now it's just empty and a waste of space. The only weight added to this dock should be the turtle(s). This is also why looking at pictures I thought the legs of this dock held up the platform-they could carry the weight of turtle(s) and the rocks. I was wrong- it truly is a floating dock. Works really well for what I needed but a lot of the parts I didn't end up using. Really glad it is SO big and stays afloat. 2021: I ordered a 2nd one because my turtles need to be separated. It is painted very bright colors compared to my first one. Just want to warn ppl that you may get a Christmas dock lol (3rd picture). ## Features - INNOVATIVE and UNIQUE: The Reptology Floating Turtle Pier doubles as a Basking Platform, and floats slightly above the waterline inside your tank.

Have you seen that as an issue?** A: Some do and some don't. I've had several different types and this one is the only one that our red eared slider has not destroyed. When my turtle gets on this platforms it sinks to some degree but not to bad. Just have to make sure all parts are put together really well or they can get the pieces off. This is the best one that I've ever had. **Q: What's the tallest settting?** A: Hi Faith, Thanks for your question. The maximum height the Turtle Pier can adjust to is 16". **Q: are the legs on this platform removable? I currently use pvc tubing with 2 floating docks anchored on the side. of the tank** A: Yes **Q: would this fit in a 90 gallon tank?** A: yes, i have a 100 gallon tank that it fits in quite nicely, the only problem is that you cant have the water level above the top of the platform which is 2ish feet. so if you have a 4 foot tall aquarium, it could only be half full ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Satisfied Customer *by F***A on March 21, 2026* Franklin love it and I do to Thank you good sturdy product easy to assemble and I have a big turtle I got my money worth on this one ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happy Turtles - edited 2021 *by M***K on August 11, 2017* I have looked for years for a good, stable floating dock/log for my two False Mississippi Map turtles.

Not as good and may need modifications for larger turtles. *by N***I on December 6, 2021* My red eared slider is a fairly big adult and takes up most of the space on the platform. She would also makes it sink because of her weight even though I put small rocks in the pocket made for a counter balance. The ramp also comes off very easily when my turtle tries to climb onto it so if you have a large adult I would recommend getting some aquarium sealer to glue the ramp in place. After a while of experiment trying to make the platform not sink I came up with the solution to just set the platform on top of the poles and not stick them through the holes which actually works perfectly and is very sturdy and no longer sinks. This solution requires that the water level be low enough so the platform doesn't float but rather rests on top of the poles. If you have an adult that weighs too much I recommend this solution as well as putting some rocks or other type of weight in the pocket on the platform so it doesn't flip when your turtle attempts to climb onto it. Overall this platform is a great option for the price and I highly recommend it if you have a smaller turtle or if it's still growing. For adult or large turtles it's probably not the best but with some minor modifications it will work perfectly. ## Frequently Bought Together - Penn-Plax Reptology Aquatic Turtle Pier and Basking Platform | Floating Above Tank | Decorative, Functional, and Naturally Inspired for Aquariums and Terrariums | Large Size (REP603) - Turtle Tank Filter Aquarium Filter Power Adjustable 30-55 Gal. 290GPH Large Internal Filter 3-Stage Waterfall Bio-Filtration Low Water Level for Freshwater Saltwater Fish Tank Reptile Shrimp Frog - PAIZOO Fish Tank Digital Thermometer Accurate LED Display to ±0.9°F Tank Thermometer Aquarium Temperature Measurement Suitable for Fish, Axolotl, Turtle or Aquatic --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/1628564-penn-plax-reptology-aquatic-turtle-pier-and-basking-platform-floating](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/1628564-penn-plax-reptology-aquatic-turtle-pier-and-basking-platform-floating) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
