Zoo Med Floating Turtle Log

My son’s turtle likes the log, he likes to hang out inside and on top of it. I really didn’t like the packaging of it in the box, it was a mess getting it out of the box little pieces of styrofoam everywhere. But I do recommend this for a turtle, it doesn’t have paint that flakes off and it is sturdy compared to other things I bought the turtle.

We have a pond but no turtles. I bought this for the frogs to sit on and they love it.

I don’t have a turtle, but I bought this for my garter snakes. They love it! It serves as a hide and a basking spot under their lamp. I see them curled up on it all the time.

I have 2 red ear sliders about the size of my hand, I bought each of them one and they seem to love it!

I have two eastern painted turtles that are getting used to it in the tank. Gives them something to explore. So far they are using it.

My turtles love this. Wished I had bought this when I first got them. I wished they would make a bigger one for when they outgrow this.

Just what I was looking for my turtle loves it I had to bring him in for the winter and needed something for him and it works great. Fast shipping, expected it in 7 days received it in 4

This is a great product for my turtle. I started with the zoo med floating turtle dock but then wanted to give this log a try to go with it. Had to buy it used cuz it was too expensive but I’m pretty sure he likes it. I heard some negative reviews about “your turtle will drown” but wanted to take my chances but it’s fine cuz he’s too big to fit inside. Mostly bought it for turtle and cuz it looks realistic and good detail. It actually does float and doesn’t sink to the bottom… Turtle enjoys it a lot I’d say 10 stars and 100% satisfied. Highly recommend for turtle owners. EDIT: about 2 months later, he got stuck inside. 10 minutes after i fed him, I heard him banging on the glass, and i knew something was wrong. i looked and he was stuck inside all the way. apparently, a shrimp got in there. of course, he went after it, and thats what happened... at that point, we were both thinking the same thing: what do I do now? Had to take log out of turtle tank and put it in the bath tub. i tried to gently pull him out from behind, but i couldnt from the front or he couldve bitten me. He was totally stuck inside and i was about to break the log open with my bare hands, hopefully without hurting him. But thankfully i didnt have to cuz he got out, eventually, with my help. The problem was is that when he knew he was stuck, he tried to escape through the way he was facing. thats how he got really stuck cuz for some reason, that side of the log had a smaller opening. so then he tried going out the way he came in, (which wouldve been a good idea) but i dont blame him cuz he just a turtle. I was about to pull him gently from behind, but he was halfway out and I chose not to cuz i didnt know if i was hurting him, i just let him do it himself, cuz he knows what hurts him, but I dont. He got out, thank god. i dont think he was hurt but he looked really stressed, as i was. I was just relieved he was ok. he got nothing to bask on now cuz i threw out the basking dock cuz it broke a while ago. got to buy another dock now i guess. i think what Im trying to say is that this log almost DROWNED my soulmate. I noticed the original review, I said he was too big to fit inside... but that was True though cuz i contacted the seller for questions I had. Well, what i didnt know was that he still COULD get stuck inside. Now i know. its not always what it seems... READERS BEWARE.

The turtle loves it. He sits on it most of the day. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is it floats around the tank instead of staying under the light, and since he is a basking turtle staying in place is crucial. Maybe it is the strength of the filter pushing it, maybe weigh it down heavier in the future.

This is just perfect for our turtles. They both bask on it, while the shier one likes to hide inside the log. I do have a concern, based on the more negative reviews, that as he grows the hollow will become a problem rather than an attribute, but right now there is no problem. I have to admit that the way it floats to and from around the tank can irritate me, but the turtles really do like it, and it is their tank. Adds a nice rutic, natural element to the tank.
