Pennplax has been making great platform for years, thanks to a combination of clever design and appropriate materials. It is perfect for an adult leopard gecko. Even though, this is for an aquarium, this step ledge would be the perfect size for your gecko. It will fit in a 30 gallon tank. If you feel it is too sharp, you can easily smooth the area with a bit of sandpaper or a file. It is pretty high but they should have no problem climbing it and hiding under it.
The point is you will definitely have to sand some areas down for the safety of your animal as there are VERY sharp edges all around. It would take up at least half of a 10 gal tank. It is not only decorative, but is also purposeful. It is good for young and baby beardies only.
Why We Like This:
Very good quality, looks like a real rock
Great addition to new 55 gallon aquarium
Good for baby and juvenile bearded dragons and similar sized animals

The zilla extra large basking platform for bearded dragon is capable of outshining several other platform featured in this list in overall features for the price point. This is a class pet that travels from home to home. It is the perfect height for a bearded dragon to climb on and bask on. It cleans quickly with mild soap and water and is safe for both aquatic and terrestrial environments. It is made from resin, so it does not have any thermal capacitance. It retains heat well, almost too well as it gets fairly hot as it gets fairly hot.
The piece is sturdy and looks great. It would be perfect for a tropical rainforest setup because of its somewhat mossy appearance.

Zilla has been making great platform for years, thanks to a combination of clever design and appropriate materials. This is a very solid basking ramp. It's heavy enough where it's not moving around. It retains heat for a bit after the lights are turned off. It warms up nicely.
These don't sit steady on flat surfaces. It's great for them to rest on it. It's a little taller but other than that it's perfect. It has a dual purpose.
