I bought this item from our local PetSmart store for our stinkpot turtle to come out and dry his shell once in awhile. Well, he never got the chance since the darn thing didn't work. The suction cups are terrible, and wouldn't stick no matter what I did. It just ended up detaching and floating around. And it somehow cracked, and pieces were floating around in the tank. Save your money and buy another product. At least PetSmart let me return this piece of crap to get my money back!
