Bedding

[ToothPick]

What kind of bedding do you guys use for your leopard geckos, ive been using sand but what about mulch that you can buy from the store? or what about the green carpet? or moss?

whats better for my leopard geckos?

I used sand to begin with. I switched to Repti carpet. you can get a pack of 2 for a 20L at petsmart for 12.99
Having two works great... Every two weeks I throw her carpet in the washer and swap the other one in.
Plus it looks pretty nice I think.

ok cause i been using sand and one of my lizards apparently gets it all clumped around her mouth, so im seeking new bedding and because of you ive gotten a better idea that i will use the carpet. thanks

Sani-Chips from LLLReptile or Bio-Flake from New-Age Reptile are good choices because they can be digested and pass right through the system!

 

[Nigel4less]

But I think Paper towel would be the safest option because it cant be ingested at all

thanks im actually using papertowl over the sand right now temporary so i think i will buy the carpet and the 2 pack cause her idea of every 2 weeks changing it sounds great.

YAY! I helped someone....LOL
Good luck!

YA definitely use paper towel
I used to use rabbit pellets but not anymore
rabbit pellets are kind of good for babies since they can't ingest it.

 

[Nigel4less]

I wouldn't recommend rabbit pellets for any herp besides turtles and tortoises, A baby could easily swallow a smaller piece and choke or get impacted...

yeah ok so i knew of the carpet stuff online, petsmart.com and drfostersmith.com has it. so i went to petsmart today they didnt have any. so i went to Walmart, thye dont have any reptile things at all, so i went to Pet Supermarket, they only had the materical that you get in easter baskets with the grass. that kind of shiny plastic cept it was sort of low pile carpet so i didnt want that, i went to a hobby store maybe i could find something washable that would be nice, i got nothing so i might have to order online.

all i want is that and no one has it in stores

Do a yellowbook.com search for pet stores near you. Or just use paper towels.

 

[Nigel4less]

Paper Towels sounds like your best option right now

Paper towels are best, newspaper will work also.
