I have purchased many different sizes of the Turtle Dock for growing turtles. The large dock was a must need and very appreciated by our red eared slider. Great product and great service from Amazon.

I was told that I would never have to replace the dock because they were made that way. Well, I've replaced two docks five times each in the last six months. The bottom of the dock, where the name is so proudly displayed starts to disintegrate and leaves the water murky and who knows what it's doing to the turtles. I have the largest dock for two medium sized RES and it completely sinks under them. I have another one for a large sized RES that he's never completely out of the water either. I'm stuck using them for now, but if someone knows any other docks that actually work, then I'm open to suggestions.

I purchased this floating dock for my two 6 month old sliders. I have the medium size and it is sufficient for now. I forsee having to upgrade to something sturdier within the next year or two though - again the suction cups are very weak and the dock doesn't appear to be able to hold up much weight. A gripe I have with this product is that even after a month of use it continues to "shed" a fine sand like substance. I probably would not buy this product again - a nice natural stone pile that will retain heat will be my next choice.
