Carpet?

[ziggi365]

Hey guys most of the "locals" have droped by and said hi to me in the "introduce your self" forum and thank you for that. This is one of those annoying questions I was talking about I keep reading that you should use carpert, does this go under the sand?

thank you,
Kieran.

I was just typing in random forums(yes weird, I know) and found the answer! I am not sure what to put in the bottom though, and my parents are not keen of buying of the internet. Can you guys offer any help? If i do decide to go paving do I want it rough? Any help on this subject would be great, im not keen on keeping the little guys on papper towls so not to be disrespectfull to you guys but please do not suggest this as its not a oppion, once again please do not take this the wrong way or think im being disrespectfull.

NO you just use the carpet only. it comes with 2 pieces to a pack to change the when needed. Sand can cause impaction so its not recomenned for anything younger than a adult

Just go to a pet store the sell it in there called repti carpet

if you use tile don't use the smooth kind, you want it a little bit rough or it would be like if your living room floor was made of ice all the time...

tile is fairly cheap (maybe even cheaper than reptile carpet, i never really looked at carpet though) and a lot of places will cut it to the size you need for free.

for a 15 gallon it is 8.99 for a two pack so i use that in my 20 gallon

I use the Zilla teranium lines carpet. I been using the green but I bought a brown one since it is out now. They make it too fit just about ever size tank there is. If you have an Exta Terra or Zoo Med teranium, you will have to cut the carpet into 2 pieces to customize it. You don't use any sand with the carpet.

Yes, just use the carpet or tile. I use paper towels in my rack bins. Why are you against paper towels?

 

[Ccrashca069]

I use paper towels and the carpet. I like the way the sand looks but not going to risk the geckos health because of it. Almost lost 1 because of sand impactation but she made a full recovery.

 

[ziggi365]

Im not completly shore why I dont like towels. They arent very attractive and to be honest they would look crap in a 3 and a half foot tank. Once again please dont take offense to this, sorry if you did.
