Turtle Basking Platform - Reptile Supplies


How to make a Turtle Basking Platform?

I need some help making a turtle basking platform in a lake. I have looked all over the internet for this, but I wasn't able to find a structure for a lake and just many structures for aquarium based basking platforms, which are much smaller than a regular basking platform in a lake.

The structure would need to float a little way off the shore of the lake and it shouldn't be too big because I heard that other birds could make nests on top of the platform.


You could make a raft out of branches and anchor it in a safe spot.
