Help please!

I was tired of the crickets hiding under the paper towels, so I just switched to slate rock/tile. However, I do not have a tile cutter, so I got as close of measurements as I could and had Lowe's cut it for me. It was almost perfect. Almost wasn't enough; the crickets are getting into the small distance between the tile and the glass. What is something safe and easy I can fill these areas with?

Hmm, not sure there, I would say paper towels is all I can think of that is completely safe, but then who wants a ball of paper towels sticking out of their nice tile flooring, lol.

lol exactly... plus I'm sure the crickets would find a way into the paper towels in there. He seems to love the flooring too. This is the most hes been out of his hide since I got him. Last thing I want to do is change all of this yet again. Plus it looks so nice.

One thing you might want to try is taking play sand and sticking it in the grooves, just enough so it makes the surface level. This will also keep your gecko from getting his toes caught between the tiles.

there is absolutely no space between tiles, so that isnt a problem. I guess I could use play sand for the spaces between the tile and the glass, but couldnt the crickets just burrow into that as well? Plus they be covered in sand I don't want him eating...

I would use play sand for the places inbetween the tiles where the crickets go.

From my personal experience with using sand for 10 years, I've never had crickets burrow in the sand. So that should solve your problem.
