Description
An aquatic turtle spends part of its day out of the water, dry under its lamp: that’s where it warms up and its shell dries. With nowhere accessible to climb out, it stays submerged all the time, and skin and shell problems lie in wait. For a young animal in a small tank, finding a foothold low enough to climb onto isn’t always easy.
This resin stump measures 14 × 12.5 × 6 cm. Its ridged top, imitating tree rings, gives claws a grip; it is hollow and open at the sides, so it also works as a hide for young turtles or fish sharing the tank. Resin doesn’t rust or rot and cleans with a brush.
6 cm high: for the top to stay above water and dry, set it in shallow water or raise it on pebbles. It is an islet for a young turtle; an adult needs a proper wide, stable basking area placed away from the edge to prevent escapes. The heat lamp and UVB remain essential above the dry area.

Frequently asked questions
Is it suitable for an adult turtle?
No, it is too small. An adult needs a wider, stable basking area.
Does the top stay out of the water?
Only if the water is less than 6 cm deep at that spot, or if you raise it on pebbles.
