Habitat - Indoor :: Exo Terra basking dock

[Mauk]

I just picked up a large one up after going to 4 different stores. I like it way better then the Turtle Dock I had.

Large.

If you read the entire thread, you'll see that I posted pics of it in my tank as well as a link to the product website which has high-res pics.

Hrm.. i might have to give this a shot.

I'll post two pics as well.

Wow, I really like how natural it looks.

[francinemarie]

wow that looks absolutely amazing & so natural! how big is your tank? if you don't mind, i would like your opinion . do you think the large sized dock you have would be able to support the weight of a 7" female RES & growing?

i'm wondering if that dock is large enough for my RES to fully bask with also knowing that she'll eventually grow bigger.

Will this thing hold a full size female slider??? I mean if you look at the measurements its only 15" by 9" it might not hold the weight of a full size female, but a male on the other hand this could be a good idea. Keep us posted on this new dock. I like the looks, but I'm still faithfull to the zoo-med dock. My female (4")basks on this thing and it holds her just fine. She has plenty of mobility. I build dry land when she is mature anyway.

yea i'm kinda wondering about that too. i love the way the exo-terra dock looks, but i'm wondering if the money spent will be worth it for a growing female RES.

what size zoo-med dock do you use for your female RES? i've been debating on whether or not to buy a large zoo-med for my 7" female RES (and of course she'll grow bigger ).

This thing is pretty sturdy, I was pushing down on it and it was pretty resistant and would not sink in much at all. Gotta thank thegrandpoobah for his post and tipping me on this thing.

You're welcome! Looks like I've started an Exo-Terra exodus.

And as for this dock holding a full grown female RES, I have no idea. Like Mauk said, it is pretty sturdy. It is at least as buoyant as the Zoo Med dock.

I was thinking the same thing, but I checked the websites and they did not carry them. From what I understand, this product is fairly new. I check ebay (not thoroughly, and did not see anything)
