One enhancement to make a great product for bigger turtles also
Overall it is a very well designed product as it takes much less space in the tank and gives my turtles more swimming space. However, there is an issue with the suction cups losing their stickiness over time (found a solution though, which is to keep the platform in place all the time and avoid loosening it. You can use paper towel to wipe it clean while keeping it in place instead of taking it down and washing it).After I posted the above review comment, now each platform comes with a spare pair of suction cups, which is super useful! Thanks a lot!Now my turtle is growing bigger and a single platform is not big enough for him anymore. I mounted two platforms next to each other so that he has enough space. This solution works pretty well for a year. Now the ramp becomes a little too short for him and he has trouble climbing up. Could you please consider have a variation of the platform with a longer ramp on its left side so that it would make it easier for a bigger turtle to climb up? I love this product. Thank you for your consideration.

The media could not be loaded. The platform is nice, this tank is a long 20 gallon and it fits perfectly. The suction cups were difficult to use, I recommend dipping them in water then trying to put them on, my turtles is about 4 inches and she fits nicely on it. It’s really good for the price.

Turtle Basking Platform
I recently had to purchase a bigger and better basking platform for my Mississippi Map Turtle, Blu!!I’ve had him for two years and he grew fast and he out grew his old basking platform. Plus, it was very prone to algae buildup, which was impossible to get completely off!!So, I found this translucent, kind of large for my needs and the ramp was ideal because he has long nails and the ramp has holes that helps him grip and climb on the top area.At, first as you know, if you have a pet turtle, he wasn’t feeling that change to his basking area. He bumped into a couple of times. He nipped at it a couple times too. He was swimming under it for an hour.So, it has a platform has trough for pellets. So, I thought it was good idea to lure him with food, it kinda worked!! He climbed half way up looked at the food and didn’t touch it, so not a good idea!! Plus, if left for awhile the food gets mushy!!But, finally after a couple of hours and destressing he got up there and he absolutely loves it, but it still took a day for him to stay and sleep on it for a time!!The suction cups are pretty great, sturdy for my needs. So, they seem to be strong and holding Blu’s weight….he’s only 4inches but he has some weight to him, he’s adorable when he’s all stretched out and taking his nap…just a funny note; seen him yawning…lol!!I would recommend this basking platform even though it’s plastic it’s not flimsy and it’s sturdy and is could handle weight on it.

Easy To Clean/Doesn’t Stay Up
This was super easy to clean & install HOWEVER the suction power sucks lol no pun intended but it falls down once every day & my turtle is super tiny so I don’t understand?? I’ve tried hacks etc but nothing helps. Since it falls down every day it’s easy to clean. If I could do it over tho I wouldn’t purchase this.

Our red-eared slider loves it!
Our turtle is around 6 years old and climbs up easily! She loves it!! I highly recommend buying it. I've tried other basking platforms but they were bulky and not much room for swimming. This is the best one I found!

Questionable suction
This platform might work for a small turtle but I wouldn't count on it for an older turtle. My Turtle is just about 2 pounds and it couldn't hold her. When I initially put it in my her tank it held for a week or two but once it fell off it never stayed put again. I even switched out the suction cups with new ones and it still didn't work. I ended up getting her a platform that hangs over the edge of.the tank and that has been much better.

We’re both happy with it
I was replacing one I’d bought last year from somewhere else, so I appreciate that a second set of suction cups was included! I was a little skeptical about it being clear (previous one was white) but it looks good and no problems with my turtle using it. Seems sturdy and is easy to use and clean.

Excellent product!
I bought this for my turtle and he loves it! He sleeps on it a lot. It has a strong suction and is easy to place and clean. It's strong too. I would definitely recommend.
