Nolverapets™ ShellHaven Adjustable Turtle Basking Dock with Textured Ramp, Strong Suction Mounts & Removable Feeding Cup

Create a comfortable above-water resting area with the Nolverapets™ ShellHaven Adjustable Turtle Basking Dock. Designed for aquatic and semi-aquatic turtles, this platform provides a textured basking surface, easy-climb ramp, secure suction support, and removable feeding cup in one practical aquarium accessory.
The wide platform gives turtles space to rest, dry off, and position themselves beneath a suitable basking lamp. Its textured surface helps provide better grip as turtles move from the water onto the platform.
A long, gently angled ramp allows easier access for smaller turtles and pets that may struggle with steep or slippery docks. Horizontal grooves help provide additional traction while climbing.
Strong suction supports attach the dock to smooth aquarium walls and help keep the platform in position. The adjustable mounting design allows the height to be adapted according to the aquarium’s water level and the size of your turtle.
The removable feeding cup can be used for dry turtle food or occasional treats. Separating food from the main water area may help reduce floating food debris and make daily cleaning easier.

How to Install
Clean and dry the selected section of aquarium glass.
Rinse the suction supports and dock before installation.
Position the platform above the waterline.

Check that the platform is level and stable.
Add the feeding cup if required.
Observe your turtle during the first few uses.
Recommended Setup
Position the dock beneath an appropriate reptile heat lamp and UVB light according to the equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Maintain a safe distance between the lamp and platform to prevent excessive heat. The ramp should enter the water deeply enough for the turtle to reach it comfortably.
Size and Weight Guidance
Select a dock that provides enough surface area for your turtle to turn around and rest without hanging over the edges. The platform should remain stable under the turtle’s full weight. Larger or heavier turtles may require a larger fixed platform or additional support.
Feeding Cup Use
The removable cup may be used for suitable dry turtle food or treats. Remove leftover food after feeding to prevent odor and buildup. Do not use the cup for deep water or as the turtle’s only water source.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Remove the dock from the aquarium regularly and rinse it with clean water. Use a soft brush to remove algae, waste, or food residue from the textured surface and ramp. Clean the suction supports before reinstalling. Avoid bleach, strong fragrance, or harsh household chemicals unless specifically approved for aquarium use.
Safety Information
Check the suction supports frequently to ensure they remain secure. Reinstall the platform immediately if it becomes loose, tilted, or unstable. Keep heating equipment at a safe distance and monitor the basking temperature with a suitable thermometer. Do not place the dock where it blocks filtration, swimming space, or access to the water surface.
