Safari Ltd.Red-Eared Slider Turtle Figurine - Realistic 5.25" Model Figure - Educational Toy for Boys, Girls, and Kids Ages 18M+

I've made a simple bird bath with a plastic dip tray having 6-areas for crackers, and the center circle for dip. (Found it in a thrift store.) That's sitting on top of some cinder blocks, and works great! Very easy to keep clean, and I wanted some kind of decoration for the center. I found an indoor little ceramic angel at the thrift store, and glued that to a rock for stability and weight. That worked for awhile, but the deer wander by and try to drink from the bird bath. The angel broke when the whole thing got tipped over.So I wanted something weather- and waterproof, and indestructible. I have about a 6-inch diameter in the center to work with, and found this painted turtle. I figured I'd lay it on a rock, and if it worked, glue it to the rock later. I see these turtles all the time, out fishing, and figured I'd put it on a stone, "basking in the sun." I need the weight of the stone so wind doesn't blow the thing off the cinder blocks if it's out of water.Good: It arrived, looked good, I put it out on the bird bath and kept an eye on it from the kitchen window. Not too long after, I watched some birds come to use the bath, but then flap their wings and back off. So I went out to take a look. Heck, I even got scared!! LOL!The problem is it looks like a smooth-ish green rock, from the top, looking at the turtle's shell. But then you see the striped legs and head poking out, and Holy Cow!....it looks like some weird monster is emerging from under a rock. This looks exactly like a painted turtle. I just hadn't ever looked closely at one from the top -- a "bird's eye view."Okay, so back to the drawing board. However; I put a different rock on the ground by the bird bath, and the turtle "basks in the sun" on that rock. It's far enough away from the water that now the birds are happy again. I think there may be a reason the expression "bird brain" entered the language! :-) Fun times, though.

My grandson loved this! His real one ran away, so this was perfect!

Not only is this turtle cute but it looks so real that you want to touch it. It looks perfect in a water feature or even a terrarium. Very durable and superb quality. Great value for the money.

Realistic and my grandchildren love learning about turtles.

Looks pretty realistic to a young red ear slider!

I got for my grandson but I may need to get one for me!Good size and realistic

The first one was great, it floats in my 10 gallon aquarium, so I bought another for my 3.5 gallon. This one wasn't so great, as soon as I put it in the tank it sunk so I took it out and water was literally pouring out of it. I realized the side was broken open and the glue was pulling. I guess the glue never dried fully causing the sides to be damaged. What a bummer for 12 bucks!!!

Highly realistic. With a leash around the neck makes a fine canoeing toy for kids.
