Custom Built Acrylic Basking Dock

[TurtleyCustomDocks]

Greetings Tortoise forum. My name is Ryan and I am offering my services of building custom acrylic basking docks. I have owned yellow belly sliders for the past 3 years and like most people was very unimpressed/disappointed with the quality and selection of basking docks offered through brick and mortar stores (pets mart,petco,etc) and online vendors. I've used plastic docks which suction cup onto the glass (suction cups gave out), floating wood style (eventually deteriorate), and floating foam style (turtles started eating it and it had to be removed!). All of these docks were a waste of money because they never held up, looked horrible, and quickly became to small for my growing turtle family. I created a beautiful above tank basking area that would never need to be replaced and maximized the room inside the tank for my turtles to enjoy. I believe if given the chance I can hand craft a basking dock to meet all your expectations and it will last as long as you have turtles.


Message with inquiries.

-PVC, bird feeder hooks and egg crate.
Yours looks amazing, I bet the turtles feel very zen

I like what you did Yellow Turtle! For myself I wanted something above the tank and something a bit more elegant looking than the plastic.

You did a good job. Is the carpet hard to wash out if someone decides it makes a great toilet?

 

[TurtleyCustomDocks]

The dock is removable and the carpet is plastic, so when they have gone to the bathroom on it I just bring it to the sink and clean it with a mild soap and hot water. No problem

I'm happy to make you one if you like it

Awesome
I'm great at the moment, my turtles are all sorted out. Great docks, though.
