As a rough guide, Small suits hatchlings and small species, Medium suits growing juveniles and mid-sized adults, and Large suits full-sized adult aquatic turtles that need real room to turn around and bask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for — and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuited to aquatic and semi-aquatic turtles that need a genuine dry basking spot separate from the water. Not a substitute for correctly sized heat and UVB fixtures — the platform gives the turtle somewhere dry to sit under them, it doesn't provide heat or UV itself. If a turtle is heavy enough to dip the float underwater, move up a size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSetup and use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePosition the magnetic mount away from strong filter outflow, which can otherwise push the platform around or swamp the dry deck. Mount a basking lamp and a UVB source above the dry end — check the lamp's own temperature-by-distance and UV-index-by-distance tables against the gap between the water surface and your fixture, since that gap changes as the float rises and falls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the platform down during routine tank cleaning to keep the basking surface clean and free of algae film, which can make the ramp slippery.
