ok guys, so after i made my basking dock in nov., it's held up well, until the silicone ripped and now its completely in half, i have to make a new one now.
for at most....2 days, do you think the turtles can bask with a TINY bit of water on their plastrons? i need to make the new one above the tank so i dont have to worry about sinking.
Second of all, do you guys think i should put it on the side of the tank with it hooked on with some brackets, or do you think i should make it 20" wide, so i can set it on the top of the tank with 1 in on each side?
I'm making this from some sturdy wood, so i think it will last a while, and i plan on making the ramp from a rubbermaid container, so, i think i'm going to screw it onto the wood, so then i dont have to worry about it comming off.
last question, to put the ramp on, how can i put it on at an angle, and how can i make sure it wont bend?
