ABSTRACT:
A fabricated structure is used with an aquarium tank partially filled with water to provide an aquatic reptile or amphibian with a balanced environment consisting of dry land, shallow water and an area of relatively deep water. The structure consists of a substantially horizontal platform provided with leg members that extend outwardly and downwardly, serving to elevate the platform above the water and isolate it from the inside vertical walls of the aquarium. The area beneath the platform remains available to the animal for swimming purposes and water is allowed to freely circulate to insure proper filtration. In a preferred embodiment, one of the legs is modified to form a ramp leading up to the platform to facilitate access by the animal occupants. By limiting support of the platform to three members including the ramp member, the stability of the structure is assured when placed on even the most uneven bottom surface. The principles set forth may be incorporated in a structure textured and colored to closely resemble a driftwood branch or other naturally occurring formation.
