Hi,
I am wanting to create a large land area for my sliders similar to the Zoo Med Turtle Dock. I read that it is made out of foamed urethane. Has anyone tried to make anything from this material? Where can it be purchased?

I had tried creating our own dock before I found the one by Zoo-Med. I have to say it was very difficult, and the ones I made did not last. RES are very hard on everything in their tank. I ended up buying 2 of the zoo med small docks for my 2 RES, and the docks have lasted over 2 years and are still in very good shape. They are a very good product, and in my opinion, a good deal for the price.

I totally agree that they are a wonderful product. I just wanted to try to make a bigger area for my turtles. I have 4. (Three red-ear sliders with the largest one being approximately 6 inches and a southern painted which is about 4 inches.)

Thanks for your reply

I use a piece of a foam plant pot dish. Just cut out the piece you want to use. Use a suction cup with a brass brad pushed through from the suction side to the back. I then push the brad into the side of the foam shap and stick it below the surface enough for the turtle to be able to onto it. It has worked fine for a long time.
