is this suitable for large tortoises in a kiddie pool (reptile bark not water.)?

I would think so. Check with the Nevada Tortoise people in Las Vegas. They are the experts.

I don't think it is advisable to put this in water. This is a product to keep a dog or cat warm, and it works well for that. I use a water heater in my terrarium for my red slider turtle, which works great as it is meant to be submerged in water.

I don't think he will be able to escape with the turtle topper - so long as there is nothing else in the tank that he can get leverage on to climb out. The ramp to the platform is recessed such that he can't get leverage off the ramp to get out. We use this Topper with a 7" yellow-bellied slider with no problems.

I am not an expert, but I believe this would work for you provided you do not place it where your turtle will get too close to it (it doesn't get very hot, but it could give off too much UV).

Hi :-) perhaps you could put a very heavy rock or brick over the pouch (that you fill with rocks), so a turtle would be able to pull itself up. I bought this for a friend with a pool after she had me watch it while she was out of town. I was so sad when I had to get critters out that drowned or died from chlorine. My point being, I am not sure if a turtle could climb up the mesh, but she hasn't had any critters in the pool for 2 summers now. It's worth a shot!! Put it near the skimmer... However the water flows towards it :-)

Answer here...probably. Just know its not tall and has to be stabilized to stay in place. Has worked very well for me over aquatic turtle tank. Hope this helps.

No, this cage is more for a Chameleon. I dont think a big snake would do well in this.

Yes and no. It depends on how big it is. But I would say NO. A python would easily out grow this size of terrarium and may have stunned growth issues. I would say yes it it was very young but you would need a larger one in a year anyways

my first suggestion for you is to move immediately! As for this mesh it is tight like a screen. If anchored reasonably taught and embedded in the dirt consistently across the bottom, I se no reaso it wouldnt keep out snakes. I do not however know the strength or diameter of such reptiles as "babies" and I assume if they are persistent enough they might be able to nose though the fabric's weave. My suggestion is to double up the fabric, pull it taught and bury the bottom a few inches in the ground. Good luck.

Absolutely it can, it has a safety on it so the snake could get out. It has plenty of room and I would choose this tank for most reptiles and other small animals.

The slider portion hooks into the tracks where the screen would slide in, and is 12 deep, it comes with a screen that fits in behind it but makes it very hard to move around. If you have the heavy metal top it would be fine sitting on top, if you have the mesh its going to be to heavy. I'm not sure what kind of reptile you have and if you have to worry about them escaping but I have a tortoise and use it without the mesh behind it. I love it, it works wonderfully and has made daily tasks in his enclosure so much easier. Its worth every penny and I'd buy it again with out a second thought.

Yes, it would work for turtles. And yes I have one sitting under a tank, has plenty of uplift. I've had mine running for a month and it's doing fine. Also if it's in a turtle tank I'm sure you could rig the output to create a neat waterfall effect with some creativity!

Should be fine for a snake about 2-3 feet. Any larger species would probably need a larger enclosure.

This certainly doesn't seem too strong for my baby tortoises, which were overwintered indoors. I've got a pretty similar size and construction of enclosure, with a "cave" and a timer setting the on time to about daylight length. They spend some daytime in the "cave" but they are out more and more as we get toward summer.

That is very very dependent on the type of animal you have. I would go to your local pet store not a Petco or petsmart and talk to the reptile person.

maybe for a land turtles, but not for an aquatic one. these shouldn't be in water...if it is aquatic,maybe use a water heater?

I wouldn't recommend it. They need a wider enclosure instead of tall one. Plus you need more security on the openings of the cage. Pythons can squeeze through small areas of enclosures that are not secured properly. I would recommend a 50 gallon tank or larger with a snap tight screen top.

Not 100% sure about being water tight. Our local pet store did say it can be used for frogs , turtles, and lizards that need a moist environment.
