This Jurassic styled piece is essentially a basking platform that safely mounts above tanks, giving your pet a place to dry, to get warm, or just to hang out. This extra space provides a healthier and roomier aquatic environment for your pet. . The Turtle Topper is designed for standard sized tanks up to 55 gallons and 13” wide including 10g, 20L, 20H, 29g, 55g, and more! Within minutes of installing this piece, you’ll notice your turtles gravitating towards it! Ideal for most breeds of aquatic turtles – they’ll love basking out of the water!Secure Mounting: The Turtle Topper utilizes 2 adjustable 1.5” suction cup mounts that lock onto the tank’s walls. For a strong and secure bond, please clean and wash the suction cups with water before mounting, as well as the contact areas at sides of the tank. The cleaner they are, the stronger the bond!Relax with Ease: The textured docking ramp provides your pet with an easy climb to the upper level of the platform, where they can bask, eat, and enjoy their time above water. Moreover, the docking ramp measures 5.75” wide at its narrowest point, and is 8” long.Best of Both Worlds: The Turtle Topper features a hanging platform that sits just below the waterline, allowing your turtle to rest while being partially submerged, but can also be removed if space is a bit tight in your setup. The hanging platform measures 11.25” x 4”.Convenient & Spacious: The basking platform consists of a clear top with ridges that allow you to mount 2 clamp-style heat lamps (not included). In addition, the central metal grill door allows heat to pass through while granting you easy access to your pet, and is easy to open, close, and lock in place. The grill door measures 7.25” x 8”.Measurements: Overall = 17” x 14” x 10” Inside Basking Platform = 16” x 12.5” Grill Door = 7.27” x 8” Ramp = 5.75” x 8” Hanging Platform = 11.25” x 4” Fits standard sized tanks up to 55 gallons and 13” wide. Review: Fantastic product, Turtle loves it, works on a 20g tank too - 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. Review: World’s greatest aquatic pet turtle product!!! - 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 dΓ©cor 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!!! ## Features - HEALTHY, INNOVATIVE, AND UNIQUE: The Reptology Turtle Topper is essentially a large basking platform that safely mounts above tanks, giving your pet a place to dry off, to get warmed up, or just to hang out.

He likes to escape. Will he be able to with this platform?** A: My guy is an escape artist and he got the clear topper off first night! The wire piece clips in securely but the clear plastic top has no clips or anything to keep it on and its a very thin overlap on the bottom piece so pretty easy to move when they are determined. Nothing inside the topper at all to aid him. He’s about 20 yrs old and about 6 inch shell end to end. Gorilla brand duct tape fixed his ass from escaping, just watched him try again lol. **Q: If you put the topper on, will that just leave the other side of the tank open?** A: Yes, it will leave the other part of the tank open. If you're having trouble with an escape artist, you should either put less water in the tank or move objects that allow the turtle to climb over the edge. **Q: how big your turtle has to be,mine is 7 years old** A: 7 is a good age, however you will want to measure the turtle by inches, and no more than a nine inch turtle should be used for this item. Great product! **Q: I have a 40 gal breeder tank. Would this fit on a 40 gal? Thx** A: As long as the depth dimension (front to back) is not more than 13.5", it should work fine on your 40 gal tank. Thank you for the question. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic product, Turtle loves it, works on a 20g tank too *by W***E on July 9, 2014* Absolutely LOVE this product... would give it 6 stars if I could.

He now has a lot more room to swim around and when he's feeling like catching some rays, he'll climb right up without any difficulty. The one thing that I hate about it is that I had to return my 48 inch light and replace it with a 24. It only lights half of the tank. I stuck a submersible light to the underside of the topper but I still have some dark spots. If this company integrated a light it would be way better. ## Frequently Bought Together - PENN-PLAX Reptology Turtle Topper – Above Tank Basking Platform That Safely Mounts to Standard Size Tanks Including 10g, 20L, 20H, 29g, up to 55 Gallons and 13” Wide – Black Color (REP600) - PAIZOO Fish Tank Digital Thermometer Accurate LED Display to Β±0.9Β°F Tank Thermometer Aquarium Temperature Measurement Suitable for Fish, Axolotl, Turtle or Aquatic - Turtle Brush with Suction Cup for Tank, Three High Suction Power Suction Cup Turtle Shell Cleaning Brush, White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1628560-click-here](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1628560-click-here) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-07-29*
