    • A year later and he loves it still
Pattern Name: Turtle Topper
Good quality and very sturdy. It’s not too heavy and my turtle loves it. Good size for my 20gal tank. Don’t use the suctions anymore but it holds on well by itself.

    • Fits well
Pattern Name: Turtle Topper
Review Image by ivy ivy
I was worried the ramo might be hard to climb on but its not, my turtle is bigger so a bit heavier so her weight holds her down but she can do it, don't mind the light on the plastic its new so i need a stand for it. this product is good and better than the one pet smart has for 71$ or something because the size is odd and also the ramp is NOT climbable for petsmarts. its sturdy because it has suction cups but i only put it on one side since the other side is too close to the wall. looks nice, plasticy but nice. havent tried cleaning it yet but should be easy with a brush. lightweight as well ... show more

    • Would recommend for turtle tank
Pattern Name: Turtle Topper
Review Image by Michael Asher Michael Asher
My turtle absolutely loves his new basking area he spends most of his time chilling up there looking around. He also likes to sit on the underwater platform. Didn't take him long at all to get used to it within the 1st few hours of it being on his tank he was already climbing up the ramp to bask in the glorious heat. I have a 55 gallon tank and it fits perfectly one top. It looks great it's sturdy, well made, easy to put together and to clean. Overall couldn't ask for more 10 outa 10 product. ... show more

    • great affordable way to setup a proper turtle tank!
Pattern Name: Turtle Topper
after becoming unexpected immediate new family to a pair of small turtles that had been living in a small plastic container all of their lives, we decided to make a Christmas gift for our son and daughters with a tank setup for their new pals. we purchased this little home and it was extremely easy to set up, which i love. it's sturdy and i'm not worried about the turtles escaping (who the girls named Stella and Harper by the way), even with the top completely off of the fish tank. we have it attached to a 30 gallon tank and what i love most is that it gives the turtles FULL access to the complete tank. when they outgrow this current setup, i'll purchase a 2nd Turtle Topper Basking Platform and put one on each end of a 125 gallon long tank for them. Cost! I have to be honest here. This is a bit of an investment in my opinion, at around $40, when our budget wasn't prepared for it at CHRISTMAS time of all times per year. But...I think it's worth it. I'll explain why. After at least 50 total hours of speed learning about turtles while frantically trying to put together a proper home for Harper and Stella, two things i've learned thus far are that proper turtle homes can be costly...indeed we did have to come out of pocket with $75 immediately, including this topper, and that's only because we had a majority of the other things turtles need for care, such as a tank and filter system, because as a hobbyist i also maintain aquariums. but if i didn't have those other things, i would have needed easily at least $350 to properly set up a home for the turtles. and two...turtles NEED a place to come out of their water fully, be warm, and get proper lighting designed especially for their healthy growth and development. unfortunately and oddly enough, it can be annoying and difficult to find a satisfying solution for turtles to bask properly in a tank setup. while not PERFECT, this topper really cut my stress for their home because most basking items on the market for aquatic turtles are flimsy and encounter functional problems. this topper to me, while a bit more costly, has already relieved my emergency turtle tank setup related stress. 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 lighting and heat to the turtles. the only thing that's annoying is that the ramp is made completely of plastic, and it's not very easy for turtles to climb up. we solved this problem by taking a clean large black sock (we ordered the black model so it matched) and pulled it over the ramp to make a grippy surface for the turtles. it works perfectly and now we find often find Stella basking on the ramp itself as we turn the basking light towards both the topper and the water, where the ramp is. While I do know this topper won't be large enough for really big turtles to be super comfortable (Stella and Harper are 4" and 4.5" in diameter and both fit fine in the topper. but i think after about 7.5" in diameter it gets pretty small for a turtle and the ramp may be too narrow), i do think that if space and or finance won't permit, this topper is still better than nothing at all. of all the options available, i think this option is by far the best. it allows turtles a completely out of the water (tank)option that's great to set up a tank with small turtles. it is super easy to set up and use and gives your brain relief from worrying about their safety so you can find out the other millions of things you need to know about turtles before getting them (like they are super messy eaters and realllllllly nosey and inquisitive). i believe this topper will allow me a great amount of time to become enough of a turtle expert to plan and execute a 150+ gallon solution for our turtles when the time comes. i definitely recommend this Topper! Stella and Harper agree! ... show more

    • Best basking area available
Pattern Name: Turtle Topper
This is the best basking area on the market right now. Dont get me wrong its not perfect, but it does the best job out there. I am using this for two fully grown Red Ear Slider Turtles (Ones Shell is about 8 inches long x 5 inches wide and the other is about 6 inches long x 4 inches wide) I have a standard 55 gallon tank that the topper sits on, and have a 8.5 inch dome lamp clamped on top to provide a basking area. First the negatives: - The main body is two parts that are not connected, it would be very heavy to push off, but in the first hour my turtles almost pushed it off. My fix for this was to just put a couple strips of duct tape to bind them together. Worked like a charm. Seems like it should be something they can fix in the next generation of toppers. - The ramp into the water is extremely high, only a few inches from the top of the tank. I was kinda worried that my turtles might get a head of steam and try and jump out, hasnt happened yet, but if they were smaller or more agile that might be a problem. - The ramp is fixed, not on a hinge. I figured it was on a hinge and floated on the level it needed to be, but it is actually at a fixed height. Maybe future version could incorporate a hinged floating ramp. - The way the body sit on the aquarium it has to be at the end of the tank. It sits weird unless you have the ramp facing inward and the body sitting on the edge of your tank. I figured it could sit anywhere on your tank. Now the positives: - My turtles just love it. Some people said it took a few days for them to go in and they had to be coaxed into going up and in. It to less than an hour for both of them to bask in the topper. They fit pretty tight, but they both can lay down in the body pretty comfortably. - Look really nice while adding free square footage. I like that you can view your turtles inside. I know they need a bigger tank, but this adds a little more area for them to roam and have their space. - There is nothing else even close. This might not be the perfect topper, but it is the only thing that works. You can try rocks, logs and floating docks, but this is the absolute best thing on the market. ... show more
