>>Yeah thats what I figured... Now I just need to figure out how to make something that will support his weight and is easily accesible. Hes not a hatchling anymore!

>>Thanks,


I usually take some bricks and a flat piece of paving stone or slate and make a table like structure on one end of the tank. For smaller turtles you can set the bricks on the side with the flat on top and have a cave like structure underneath, but for a snapper that likes to move things around, better to keep the base more solid instead of hollow and fill it with additional bricks.
