Penn-Plax Reptology Aquatic Turtle Pier and Basking Platform | Floating Above Tank | Decorative, Functional, and Naturally Inspired for Aquariums and Terrariums | Large Size (REP603)
INNOVATIVE and UNIQUE: The Reptology Floating Turtle Pier doubles as a Basking Platform, and floats slightly above the waterline inside your tank. This feature allows your pet to rest and eat outside of the water. In addition to providing a better view, the pier also allows for more interaction between you and your favorite friend.
SECURE SUPPORTS: The pier’s platform rests upon 4 pylon supports that are attached with suction cups that connect to the bottom surface of a tank. Please clean and wash the suction cups with water before placing inside tank for a strong and secure bond, as well clean the contact areas at the bottom of the tank. The cleaner they are, the stronger the bond on the cups.
EASY ACCESS FOR PETS: The docking ramp allows your pet to easily climb onto the upper level of the pier. Furthermore, the pier’s platform has a built-in gravel bin that’s used to counterbalance the weight of your pet as they enter the ramp. Gravel sold separately.
DECORATIVE and NATURALLY INSPIRED: In addition to serving as a basking platform that allows your pet to dry off and regulate temperature, the Reptology Floating Turtle Pier also satisfies their natural instinct to hide and rest underneath. This piece is great for terrariums and other reptile habitats that don’t have water. Great for turtles, frogs, newts, and salamanders
ADDITIONAL INFO: The Reptology Floating Turtle Pier is designed for tanks that are 20 gallons or larger. The Basking Platform measures 16” (D) x 11” (W) x 8" (H), the ramp extends the total length to 20.5".In addition, the pylon supports are adjustable in height, from as low as 3” for setups without water, and up to 16” with water.
The Penn Plax Reptology Large Turtle Pier is a great way to interact more closely with your favorite reptile pet while also satisfying their natural urge for basking. Pier can be used both as a floating platform when placed in water or can be used in terrarium environments without water. When placed in an aquarium, the turtle pier will float just above the water line and stays in place with 4 pylons that attach with suctions cups at the bottom of the tank. Platform is suitable for 20 gallon tanks and up and pylons can extend from 12 inches to 16 inches if needed. Turtles will enter the platform on the ramp which is specifically designed for their shape making it easy to climb up and down. Depending on the size of your pet, a gravel bin allows you to balance the weight by adding more or less gravel as needed (sold separately). When used in reptile tanks as a traditional basking platform, the pylon legs can be lowered to 3 inches and are secured with the suction cups to keep it from moving. In addition to the upper platform, many small reptiles will use the underside to fulfill their natural instinct for concealment and will rest underneath. This basking platform is great for turtles but is also suitable for frogs, newts, salamanders, and other small reptile pets. It measures 16 inches long by 11 inches deep and will vary in height depending on the pylon setting. Turtle basking platform is made of quality, non-toxic plastic that is safe for both children and pets. Light assembly is required.
