{"product_id":"exo-terra-croc-turtle-island","title":"Exo Terra Croc Turtle Island","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Croc Turtle Island is a floating crocodile-shaped ornament that doubles as a basking spot for small semi-aquatic animals. Exo Terra lists it for turtles, newts and salamanders and sells it simply as the \u003cem\u003eCroc\u003c\/em\u003e (PT3067). It floats, the back is textured for grip so a wet animal can get purchase on it, and a suction cup is included so it can be anchored to the glass instead of drifting into the filter intake. At 21 x 11 x 4cm the usable deck is small — this is a hatchling or juvenile piece, or a second haul-out in a tank that already has a main basking area. A grown slider or a Murray River turtle needs the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/exo-terra-turtle-bank\"\u003eTurtle Bank\u003c\/a\u003e, which comes in decks up to 40.6cm and mounts on magnets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it floats, it tracks the water level automatically, and because it is an ornament rather than a fixed shelf it can be moved or removed in seconds when you are cleaning. Put it under the basking lamp and UVB source, not in a shaded corner — a basking platform that never gets warm is just decor. For water maintenance in the same tank see the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/exo-terra-turtle-habitat-cleaning-kit\"\u003eTurtle Habitat Cleaning Kit\u003c\/a\u003e.
