762 customers mention523 positive239 negative

Customers are mixed about the quality of the pet supplies. Some mention it's heavy duty, sturdy enough to be attached to just one side of the tank, and gives turtles a safe and sturdy way to explore the world. However, others say that it' a little pricy or cheaply made plastic, the clear plastic was shattered in so many places, and the base itself is cracked. The ramp is poorly designed and too steep for turtles to comfortably use.

"...just be careful you dont accidentally break anything, it's pretty durable but i broke a small piece on accident. dont be clumsy like me haha...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the size of the pet supplies. Some mention that it's great for how sturdy, roomy, and well built this product is. They say it saves them space, provides extra space for lamp, net, etc., and that it has ample room to swim. However, others say that it is a little big for a 10-gallon aquarium, and won't be large enough for really big turtles. That said, some complain that it doesn't span across their tank's width.

"...it has quite a bit of space too so i plan to use this for a very long time, im even thinking about adding plants and rocks in there...." Read more

186 customers mention119 positive67 negative

Customers are mixed about the space of the pet supplies. Some mention that their turtle loves the underwater platform, and has no problems. They also say it's perfect for aquariums that are 18 inches or larger, and the basking area sits above the water giving them plenty of room to swim. However, others say that the design is that the turtle can't climb up the ramp without slipping back down.

"...I like that you can view your turtles inside...." Read more

"...Only easue it can be a bit hard for bigger turtles to get on if water is not close to the top of the tank." Read more

"...the turtles can climb out fine, and the top of the topper has small troughs in it that allow for clamp lights to attach to the topper to provide UVB..." Read more

"...But my RES are still itty bitty babies (less than 1 year old). They are great swimmers, but they can’t seem to get up the ramp...." Read more

121 customers mention26 positive95 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the stability of the pet supplies. They mention that the suction cups won't secure to the inside walls, the top portion wobbles all over, and the sucker comes off of the tank after about 3 hours. The perch does not fully lock into place, and most of the topper hangs off the end.

"This product was a cool addition to my tank, however, the ramp sits too high and my turtles shell was too big...." Read more

"...The ramp into the water is extremely high, only a few inches from the top of the tank...." Read more

"...Don't even bother with the little swing at the bottom of it. It fell off for me and my turtles were too heavy for it anyway...." Read more

"...My tank is a 29 gallon tank and the whole unit rested perfectly on top. I had a couple issues with this product and needed to make adjustments...." Read more

68 customers mention13 positive55 negative

Customers find the ramp on the pet supplies to be too steep and slick for their turtles to climb. They also say the suction cups are useless and the ramp is too short and too steep for large turtles.

"...As some others mentioned, the ramp may be too steep. It seemed that way in my case...." Read more

"...is that the door on top is very hard to take off and the ramp is a little too steep...." Read more

"...I find it is too steep and you have to raise the water level very high for them to get up...." Read more

"...This is a very sturdy product, BUT!!! The ramp is SUPER steep and not easy for White Castle to get up on to, so he's barely using it at all!..." Read more

Great product, but my turtle is too big 😭
5 Stars
Great product, but my turtle is too big 😭
This product was a cool addition to my tank, however, the ramp sits too high and my turtles shell was too big. When I took the side holds off, the ramp was too unstable to hold his weight for him to climb. The amount of water in the tank for him to use the ramp also made me feel uneasy, so I unfortunately have to return. However, it really is a cool and stable product if you have it all assembled! Also, I do recommend having clamp lights for this, not lights that sit on top as the screen isn’t huge and did not fit a double-basking light.This fit my 55gallon tank perfectly, and if your turtle is smaller this would work perfect. A full grown, 8 year old, yellow bellied slider was too big height wise to fit in the ramp area, but was fine in the basking area.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its like a vacation to Hawaii for my turtles.
Reviewed in Canada on December 9, 2020
We got a 55 gallon long tank, and this basking platform fits perfectly. We added the ZooMed double light fixture with the heating bulb and UVB light, my turtles are now spending upwards of 8 hours in this bin, just basking. The platform is spacious enough to fit my 2 (4.5 inch shell) turtles and they can climb up the ramp easily. They were nervous at first and got spooked as we were checking in on them every couple of hours through the clear plastic. They are more accustomed now and are loving their new basking platform. I was comparing this platform and the one sold at Petsmart. The one at pet smart has lower ratings and was more costly, so I thought i will give this one a try first. I was really surprised by the quality and make of this box. It seems so sturdy and it is really high quality compared to other similar products out there. Some of the pieces were harder to fit together, but a little brute force will help. In addition, the lid of the box has grooves that can be used for a small stand for if you were to put a light fixture in, there's enough clearance that the heat wont burn the box or cook the turtles.

Overall, I am very happy to have found one that fits and at the end of the day, my turtles are content.
