A floating basking platform with a submerged ramp, held against the glass by suction cups. The reason it beats a fixed shelf is the self-levelling: it rides on the water, so it stays at the right height whether the tank is freshly filled or has dropped 3cm through evaporation. A turtle that cannot get fully out of the water cannot dry off properly, and a permanently damp shell is where shell rot starts.
Sizes
- Mini — 9 x 20cm
- Small — 13 x 29cm, for tanks from about 40L
- Medium — 18 x 39cm, for tanks from about 55L
- Large — 23 x 46cm, for tanks from about 150L
Features
- Self-levelling — adjusts automatically to the water level.
- Submerged ramp — a route out of the water, not just a platform.
- Suction cup mounting — holds position against the glass.
Care
Clean algae off with warm water and a soft brush. If the suction cups stop gripping, soak them in hot water with a little white vinegar rather than replacing them straight away — replacements are available when they do give out.
Put a basking lamp above it — see Reptile Heating & Lighting.
