Product Overview
A glass tank is heavy, fragile and hard to move, and it is more than you need when you want a shallow water area for a few hours, an outdoor spot on a warm day, or somewhere to hold your turtle while you clean its main tank. This foldable turtle tank is a portable alternative: a leak-proof coated Oxford cloth basin on an 8 mm fiberglass rod frame that snaps together without tools, empties through a built-in drain outlet and folds flat when you are done. At about 40.2 x 20.1 in (102 x 51 cm) and only 3.9 in (10 cm) deep, it is designed for shallow aquatic and semi-aquatic setups, temporary or outdoor habitats, and holding or cleaning duty rather than deep-water swimming.

Key Features
-
Leak-proof coated Oxford cloth. High-density Oxford fabric with a leak-proof inner coating holds water in the basin.
-
8 mm fiberglass rod frame. Reinforced rods keep the walls upright so the tank holds its shape when filled.
-
Snap-lock corner joints. Assemble and take apart by hand, with no tools needed.
-
Integrated drain outlet. A built-in outlet and flexible drain hose let you change the water without tipping or lifting the tank.
-
Flat-fold design. Collapses into a compact package for a shelf, closet or car trunk.
-
Shallow 3.9 in (10 cm) basin. Suited to shallow water, semi-aquatic setups and short-term holding. It is not deep enough for species that need to swim.

Important Information
-
This is a shallow tank. The walls are about 3.9 in (10 cm) high, so it is not a replacement for a full aquarium for turtles that need deep water to swim. Check the needs of your species before using it as a long-term home.
-
Set it up on a flat, level surface and do not overfill. Fabric walls can bow or spill on uneven ground or when filled to the brim. Leave space below the top edge.
-
No filter, heater or lighting is included. Provide the heat, UV lighting, filtration and dry basking area your animal needs.
-
Supervise pets outdoors. Shallow water warms quickly in direct sun, so provide shade and check the water temperature.
- Make sure the drain outlet is sealed before filling, and check for leaks the first time you use it.
- To store, drain, rinse and let the tank dry completely before folding to help prevent mildew.
- Dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly due to manual measurement. Color may look slightly different from the photos depending on your screen.
Frequently Asked Questions
How deep is the tank?
The walls are about 3.9 in (10 cm) high, so the usable water depth is a little less than that. It is designed for shallow water.
Can my turtle live in it full time?
That depends on the species. It suits shallow semi-aquatic setups and temporary use, such as outdoor time or holding during tank cleaning. Most aquatic turtles need deeper water, filtration, heat and a basking area for full-time housing.
How do I empty it?
Use the built-in drain outlet with the included hose to drain the water without lifting the tank.
Do I need tools to set it up?
No. The corners snap together by hand, and the tank folds flat again for storage.
Can I use it outside?
Yes. It is intended for indoor and outdoor use, including a garden, yard or porch. Place it on flat ground, provide shade and supervise your pet.
Is a filter or heater included?
No. The package contains the tank and a drain hose only.
