The Penn-Plax Reptology Turtle Basking Platform Ramp is an acrylic tank accessory that gives aquatic pets a route out of the water and a place to bask, with a removable turf liner and suction-cup mounting.

Aquatic pets need a place to leave the water, and a tank needs a way to provide that space. This ramp creates a raised basking area inside the enclosure, making it useful for turtle tanks and suitable for other listed animals, including frogs, newts, salamanders and axolotls. Its adjustable height depends on the ramp’s incline, so the platform can be positioned to suit the tank setup.
