DIY turtle ramp

[Mad About Cichlids]

I'm thinking about doing something similar to this but with a 20g with the bottom pane taken out. I just need a few suggestions on best materials to use for the ramp and how about to put it all together.


Thanks in advance

any more pixs, from other angles, so that we understand what it is you're planning?

Sorry forgot to say I got that pic off the internet. But I do plan on making it very similar only with a larger basking area on top. I just need to make the ramp leading up to the basking area.


The pic I posted above is from a google search and in order to read it's contents I have to join that forum

i cant see whats goin on in that pic... but ive seen very nice turtle ramps made of plexi with lines of silicone for traction... simple, clean and it works

You can try a ramp out of cork ( I don't know whether it is easy to find it stateside ) or of eggcrate ( although latter does not look natural ), or a piece of plexy with snad and small stones glued to it wit silicone ) Main thing is they get a good hold on the climbing...

I used a ramp made from Slate, i gringed it to a slope and smoothed it off.
I had it supported on 4 posts i constructed. But i think u could use the same principle and sit it on the tank top!
Sorry no pics it was over 10yrs ago when i kept them.
Hope this will help you! J
