Questions
Will this work for my 20 year old red-ear slider? She is about 11"
- Hello! The dimensions of the Zilla Floating Basking Turtle Trunk are 11.75 x 9.5 x 5.25"
Helpful?
I bought this for my outdoor pond. How do I keep it from floating to the edges?
- Hi there! Thanks for your question. While this floating basking turtle trunk is not intended to be used in a pond, you possibly could still use it in one. As a way to resolve this floating issue, we'd recommend anchoring the lower part of the stump to the bottom of the pond. We hope you find this advice useful!
Helpful?
Will it work for for turtle that are 6 inches
- This would be great for your turtle.
Helpful?
I bought this for my turtle, but can't figure out how to make the float stay in the raised position. I'm wondering if it's missing a part. Is it supposed to come with a pin or something to keep it in position?
- There is an inner and outer shaft that allows for the top platform to raise freely with the water level.
Helpful?
What is max height platform float can rise to? What is max weight of a turtle can float sustain? What are dimensions of it at base?
- Hi there! It can rise to a max of approximately 10 inches. The max weight it can support is 500g out of water. The dimensions of the base are 11.75" x 6.5".
Helpful?
How deep of a tank can this work in
- Thank you for your question. These Basking Platforms are freestanding so they can be placed anywhere within an aquatic environment. The maneuverability of these pieces allows for the lights to be placed directly above them and away from the terrarium frame, preventing heat damage to the plastic frame. The platform top floats as the water level changes from evaporation, providing an easily accessible basking surface for your turtle.
Helpful?
What is the size of the top basking area of the tree trunk? The part that actually floats.
- Thank you for your question. The platform on this turtle truck is 7 X 6 inches.
Helpful?
When you extend the top float, how tall is the product. This is a key factor in anyone's purchase decision
- Thank you for your question. Fully extended, the product is 7-7/8" tall.

My red eared slider is not basking even though I brought a uvb light for her just like one of the pet coach vets told me because he has soft shell.I place the light on top of a Zilla screen cover but she still don't get on.I can't really dry dock her because I have a hood for my uvb light.How can I make her to bask and is the Zilla cover okay for her?
Why isn't my turtle basking? He is just swimming in the water
I have had this turtle for 3.5 years. He doesn't seem to be growing. He is in a 10 gallon tank. Is this to small and does his underneath side look healty?
How much greens should I feed my red eared slider with pyramiding and soft shell at a time.Should I feed both pellets and greens together in a day?Which heat lamp brand do you recommend and how many watts should I buy if the lamp is 21 cm away from the dock?
Is a 20 gallon tank fine for an 9 month map turtle? Do I need a bigger tank? Thanks!
My turtles shell has some pale spots and a soft area on the shell near the tail. As well as I noticed her scutes didnt shed properly. She is a yellow belly. 55 Gallon heated filtered tank. She outgrew her basking area which I have now fixed but this led to these changes I believe.
Hi, I have a male adult Mississippi Map, whose carapace is around 5 inches. We have a 70-gallon tank at home, but we are going on a vacation for three weeks and will leave him in a local pet shop for boarding. The shop only allows a 20-gallon tank. Would it be okay for my turtle to be in a 20-gallon tank for a few weeks?
Not sure if you guys also help turtles but I still want to ask. I have a two baby turtles in a huge tank. I have everything needed like the basking area, uvb light bulb, heat bulb, and good water temperature. Recently one of my turtles started sleeping all day and would not swim at all. This happened for two days and now she stopped eating. Today I also saw him extremely weak and had trouble climbing the rock after I place him in the water. What should I do to help my turtle.
I have a red ear slider turtle that was given to my children as a gift. She looks to be an adult, but I cannot afford to get her the things need for her care such as the basking stand and filter for another 2 weeks. I have her in my bathroom tub, I also have a 40 gallon tank, but cleaning the water is becoming a problem with my asthma. I put her in direct sunlight during the day for about 3 hours to bask, but then she goes back in the tub. Her shell looks ashy, and I dont want her to die. Help!
Shall I keep my turtle in the blanket in winter
What would be required for a painted turtle tank? Is a 29 gallon tank large enough? Is a 40 gallon tank large enough. What is the minimum tank size for a painted turtle? Thanks
I found a baby turtle upside-down in a puddle about the size of a plate. He was barely moving, and there was no creek within a few miles. I took him in and got a 10 gallon tank. I went to a creek and got some water from that, and some little rocks and made a habitat. I got a best lamp as well. What should I do? Should I keep him and care for him? Also, what should I feed him? I sent some pics to tell size and type.
