The Reptology Large Floating Turtle Pier offers your aquatic pet a healthier and more natural living space, and gives you a fun new way to interact with your beloved pet. Crafted in a classic pier design, this pier is perfect for turtles, frogs, newts, and salamanders. It creates a natural aquatic setting for your pet while letting you use the whole tank for water. The deeper water reduces most filtration limitations, giving your pet a cleaner and roomier area to swim around in.
Designed to fit most 20 - gallon or larger tanks, the Turtle Pier has a platform base that measures 16 inches long by 11 inches wide, with a ramp extending 5 inches from the 16 - inch side. Its floating platform sits just above the waterline on four 12 - inch pylons. You can extend these pylons to 16 inches using the four 4 - inch extensions included. This way, your turtle can rest out of the water for basking and you can save space in the tank.
Each pylon comes with a suction cup, which you can firmly attach to the bottom of the tank to prevent the pier from shifting. The floating platform allows for water evaporation and can rise or fall with the water level up to 16 inches. You can even set it as low as 3 inches for low - water or no - water environments. A docking ramp makes it easy for your pet to climb up to the upper level to bask in the warmth and enjoy a meal.
Each platform has a bin for gravel (not included). This bin can provide counterbalance when your large turtle climbs the ramp. The Reptology Turtle Piers are simple to assemble, made of durable plastic that's easy to clean, and safe for both kids and pets.
The pier's platform is supported by 4 pylons attached with suction cups to the tank's bottom. To ensure a strong bond, clean the suction cups and the contact areas at the tank bottom with water before placing them in the tank. Besides being a great basking spot for your pet to dry off and regulate body temperature, the Floating Turtle Pier also caters to their natural instinct to hide and rest underneath. It provides a more natural aquatic environment and offers you a brand - new way to engage with your pet, making it ideal for turtles, frogs, newts, and salamanders.
Using the Reptology Floating Turtle Pier is easy. First, clean the suction cups and the bottom of the tank with water to ensure a strong bond. Then, attach the suction cups of the pylons to the tank bottom. You can adjust the height of the pylons using the included 4 - inch extensions according to your needs. Place gravel in the bin on the platform to provide counterbalance for your turtle when it climbs the ramp.
When it comes to maintenance, the pier is made of durable plastic that's easy to clean. Simply remove it from the tank and wipe it down regularly. Check the suction cups often to make sure they're still firmly attached and replace them if they show signs of wear.
Remember, this pier is suitable for turtles, frogs, newts, and salamanders. It allows your pet to have a natural aquatic environment and a place to bask and rest. You can also interact with your pet on this pier, making it a great addition to your tank.
