Reptology Turtle Topper Extender Clips (4 Pieces) – Safely Mounts to Tanks up to 19.5” Wide

Absolutely LOVE this product... would give it 6 stars if I could. No matter your current setup, no matter the size of your aquarium, this product will add 30% to 50% more swimming room for your turtle(s), because everyone else I know uses some sort of floating turtle dock that forces you to only partially fill whatever tank you have (plus some docks take up a lot of swim roon on their own account), while this product allows you to fill your aquarium nearly to the top (its actually kinda required because of the entry ramp). We have a 6 year old Yellow Bellied Slider of healthy size and our turtle has been thrilled ever since we added this to his 20-gallon aquarium (yeah, smaller then we'd like, but its much better now with this topper). He has a LOT more swimming room now then he had before because of the previous dock... well, basically the entire aquarium is free to swim in now... he LOVES the underwater platform, and has no problems climbing in or out of the basking area, which he loves because he can get totally 100% dry and bask in the warm lights all he wants now (and he goes back and forth a lot). I know most turtle owners have a 55 gallon tank which this is ideal for, but as a smaller tank owner (standard 25L x 14W x 18T), this is pretty much the only way you can pull off a smaller tank and not feel guilty about it. As the topper is about 17" long, a 20g tank owner will have about 8" left of space to work with... which for me was enough room to put a large filter and an aquarium light across the width of the tank (with the help of a stretched out wire coat hanger as added safety/support)... my turtle can actually use all 20g of the tank now for swimming, which probably puts him on par with a 40-50 gallon tank owner who's aquarium is only half-filled to support a standard floating dock. If there's a single negative to this product, its that no matter the size of your tank, you'll have to deal with whatever the 17" long topper itself doesn't cover, because the nature of the topper means you have to keep the aquarium filled near to the top. If you have a turtle with any hint of ninja escaping abilities, you're pretty much on your own on figuring out a way to cover the remaining space, as no off-the-store-shelf product will cover such an odd amount of leftover space. I was lucky that my filter and aquarium light nicely covered the remaining free space in my 20g tank.

Finally, a company that has made the world’s greatest aquatic pet turtle product!!! It shows how scientifically advanced we have become, only you have to supply the lamp. My turtles were at first shy of it, but it only took a matter of minutes and less than a day for them to start taking turns climbing up into the enclosed platform to bask. The clear top is movable with ridges to clamp several lamps, from both sides, and a metal grid door on top that can open if you need to insert food, etc. into it. Everything is made super easy. I have five mapping turtles. The size is great for them and the topper fits on my 37 gallons, near perfectly. Make sure you measure the size before purchasing. The only natural setback is that the turtles can get spooked from the clear plastic and hop quickly back into the water. I suggest covering the clear plastic with plants or other décor to provide them with a more hidden environment and hence they are less likely to get spooked, but also less visible when they are in there. Overall, it is a great product for aquatic turtles!!!

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.

I love the idea, and with a little altering it actually works pretty good. The issue I have is the ramp. They can get up it, but The incline is way too extreme for the type/style of the texture used. For humans the "stairs type of texture" works amazing. But turtles don't work that way. They have an easier time climbing rock walls. No joke, I filled the tank to the top and I feel so bad watching them still struggle to get up. Adding a little makeshift mat will allow for their claws to grab hold of the ramp. That was my only issue to be honest. Great product, slack texture design. Very easy to put together and install. Clear top doesn't secure to the main structure but I'm really not worried about my turtles trying to pull an escape act. Still a decent product and would recommend, especially now that it's 15 bucks cheaper than what I got it for. Figures

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

Good quality and sturdy, longer ramp would be good though for a less steep incline.

Puede parecer un poco caro, pero estuve buscando en muchos sitios y es la mejor solución estetica y practica para ampliar el espacio a mi tortuga.

Took them around a day to finally climb up but when they did they loved the area. Also very easy to assemble, but the lower sitting area did not fit my tank so I didn’t use it. Heat/UV lamp can be attached to the upper part, big plus.

This turtle topper is made of high-quality materials and is very easy to assemble. It provides a sturdy and spacious basking area, and my turtle absolutely loves it! For the price, it's a good product that adds comfort and enrichment for my pet. Highly recommended for turtle owners looking for a reliable above-tank basking platform!
