I have been on the hunt for a brown 40 Breeder reptile carpet for what seems like ages now. Only one pet store (out of 5) in my are even carries the size I need and they only have it in green. I am going for a more naturalistic arid look to my terrarium, and bright green doesn't fit that bill.
I know, I know. Just order it off the internet, but I hate ordering things online. I really do.
I did find this Exo-Terra Sand Mat at the Reptile Show today in a 40 breeder. Before I bought it I beat on it pretty good to see if I could knock any pieces loose without any success, so I decided to pick it up. Not too worried about cleaning it. My kids use one small corner and everyday I fold up a paper towel in fourths in that corner and they relieve themselves there, then I trash it. Repeat. (Obviously, I do routine full cage cleans as well but not as often.)
I just wanted to see if anyone had personal experience with it, good or bad before I put it in their cage. It is a bit rough, but not sharp. I don't want them to get hurt. They're from rocky, packed earth so this should be natural for them right? Am I being over protective?
