It leaves sufficient room for my rapidly growing shell kids to swim around, while also providing a generous basking area that will. not. sink. when they climb onto it. Literally my only complaint is that my little guy loves basking so much that he took it over and won't let his big sister up onto it when he's there... shouldn't complain though, she's usually the bully in the water so this dock has helped him build confidence. :D I also appreciate that the bottom stays well enough in the water for the plecos to attach and hide in a nice dark area away from the prying eyes of my cats. I was concerned about the turtles making so much mess that the dock would begin to deteriorate or get slimy, but when I installed it I also changed their substrate to sand (quickrete pool sand from home depot, thoroughly rinsed) and have had zero issues. In fact, this is the most spacious and clean their tank has ever been. I believe with proper care, I will have this dock for years to come and I really look forward to installing it in the pond I will eventually make for these little guys. For anyone concerned about the investment, I highly recommend getting it when you can afford it... You will spend more in the long run on a multitude of other dock areas that will only disappoint. If the dimensions of this dock will fit in your tank or pond, it is worth the cost and your shell kids will love you! EDIT: 4 years later and still going strong! I will say, now that the shell kids have grown and are outside in an above ground stock tank pond, they have a tendency to flip this thing, but I think that's a matter of water level from evaporation, so when I have the water up and the dock well anchored it does just fine. I thought about buying a second but they're still able to share it well enough for now. A sort of "fissure" has appeared toward one end, but instead of wrenching on the thing and breaking it, I left it alone and continue to monitor it, and there has been no sign of actual breakage, paint flaking, or any other issues. I can't speak for the nylon cord or bag, as I have mine tied to a faux aquarium log full of rocks, with some bubbler tubing, which has held for YEARS. Still highly recommend this dock!

The product felt like styrofoam and I don’t like the chemicals that are sprayed on it to make it look like a rock, doesn’t seem it would be good for my 28 year old turtle. Real rocks made into a platform would be better. ## Frequently Bought Together - Zoo Med 78098 Turtle Dock, X-Large - API Turtle Sludge Destroyer 441D, 237 ml/8-Ounce - Exo Terra PT2478 Moss Ball --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/28865323-zoo-med-78098-turtle-dock-x-large](https://www.desertcart.be/products/28865323-zoo-med-78098-turtle-dock-x-large) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
