ExoTerra Turtle Bank Island

The Exo Terra Turtle Bank Island is a floating basking platform designed specifically for aquatic and semi-aquatic turtles. It mounts neatly into the corner of an aquatic terrarium using a magnetic fixing system, keeping the swimming area as open as possible while giving your turtle a reliable, accessible place to haul out, bask, and dry off properly.

Magnetic Corner Mounting

The Turtle Bank Island is held in position by included magnets that attach through the terrarium glass, securing the platform without drilling or permanent fittings. Positioning it in the corner maximises usable water volume for the animal, which matters in any aquatic setup.

Automatic Water Level Adjustment

The platform floats and adjusts automatically as water levels change, so it remains functional regardless of evaporation or top-ups. The submerged entry ramp stays accessible at all water levels, giving turtles a gradual, low-effort route out of the water — important for smaller or younger animals that need reliable land access.

Basking and UVB Exposure

A proper dry basking area is essential for aquatic turtles — thermoregulation, shell health, and effective UVB absorption all depend on the animal being able to fully leave the water. The Turtle Bank Island provides a flat, stable surface that positions the turtle directly under overhead heat and UVB lamps.

Suitable for a Range of Setups

• Available in multiple sizes to suit aquatic terrariums of different scales
• Designed for aquatic and semi-aquatic turtle species
• Compatible with standard terrarium glass using the included magnet system
• Can be used alongside other Turtle Bank Islands in the same enclosure

Choose the size that best matches your terrarium and the size of your turtle — both options use the same mounting and adjustment system, so the core functionality is identical across the range. A straightforward addition to any aquatic turtle enclosure that solves the basking access problem cleanly.
