Forget using floating foam or in tank basking platforms that waste space, complicate turtle tank setup or just are not adequate for healthy aquatic turtle basking.
The Turtle Basker 5500 is a sleek, super functional above tank basking platform that fits turtle tanks that are 18.5 inches wide (ask if your tank is close to this width). The topper is perfect for up to large aquatic turtles with a carapace length of up to 11 inches. The basker sits on top of standard glass aquariums (see sizing below) that let’s you fill up your aquarium completely. The basking area is easily accessible to your turtle via an oversized ramp with easy to grip, waterproof mat. A large viewing window allows you to see your turtle basking away. A rigid metal screen cover allows for installation of basking lamps and keeps your turtle(s) in the basking area and prevents escape.

FIT:
The Turtle Basker 5500 is designed to be versatile and fit most standard aquariums that are 18.5 inches wide. The basker is 24 inches long and fits between most standard tank cross bracing. For example, the Turtle Basker 5500 fits on one side of an Aqueon 75 Gallon Aquarium (that is 18.5 inches wide) between the tank edge and the middle cross brace. The design is reversable meaning it can be installed on either side of your tank.

MATERIALS:
The walls, viewing window and platform are made from high quality acrylic that is sleek, strong, shatter resistant, mold resistant, corrosion resistant and rot proof. Chrome finished connectors are used to attach the walls, platform and ramp together. A durable black metal screen cover allows ample light through while preventing escape and can withstand high temperatures from basking lamps. The screen cover is also strong enough to hold most lamps (deep domes). An acrylic window panel allows for clear viewing into the basking area without the risk of shattering that might come with glass panels.
ASSEMBLY:
The Turtle Basker 5500 was designed to be assembled easily from individual pieces. The basker is packaged to minimize package volume and reduce shipping costs and is similar to an IKEA type build. Only a flathead screw driver is required for assembly. A step-by-step How to Build video will be provided to you after purchase.
RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS to OPTIMIZE THE BASKER:
The easiest way to add ample lighting underneath the basking area is to install a “Hidden LED Strip Light.” There are many options on the internet and in pet stores. Just make sure you measure the space where you plan to install it. This is sold separately.
Additionally, a deep dome lamp fixture with a Mercury Vapor Bulb is recommended. Make sure the basking area temperatures and UVB requirements (usually dictated by distance of bulb from turtle) are adequate for your turtle. This is sold separately.
RETURN POLICY:
LLYT hopes that this basker is all you and your turtle ever dreamed of. However, in the event that your turtle does not adapt or you are dissatisfied, you can return the basker within TWO WEEKS from receipt of delivery for a refund. You (the buyer) is responsible for return shipping.
