Retile carpet ripping toes off?

[AFireInside]

People keep telling me that reptile carpet is garbage because it rips the leos' toes off. I've had mine on it since I got her a week ago and no ripped toes yet. Has this ever happened to any of your geckos?

I had my first leo on carpet for a while, using tile now though.
only switched because of the carpet starts to stink pretty quickly but no toes ripped off! i have heard of it tho but i dont think its such a common thing

I've never even heard of that, but I can see how it can happen. I keep mine on paper towels though, to me that is the best.:main_yes:

I use the reptile carpet. I don't put leopard geckos on it under 15 grams on it. Anything smaller they stay in tubs with paper towels.

I have had my leos on reptile carpet all their lives. Their ages range from four months to nine months old. I'v had no problems... I like reptile carpet.

Hi

I have just switched to carpet and havent had any proplem with toes. One thing i have noticed is they get there teeth stuck in it when going for crickets, so i have turned the carpet over and it's abit smoother, they have been great!

my vet told me NOT to use it.. their toes can get stuck AND if they poop on the carpet, the carpet will hold bacteria until you scrub the carpet.
