Substrate poll!

[SA Leopards]

I was going to get slate but the Homedepo by me said they wouldn't cut it

Slate is really easy to cut with a grinder and a masonry cutting disc. Just be sure to wear something to cover your eyes! Oh and beware the dust! There will be lots and lots of dust!

[Geckolisa]

I used to use paper towel in my leos old tank,but swapped to ceramic tiles in his new viv

 

[bryman021]

Paper towels!

 

[5HiddenLizards]

I use washed sand and coco fiber for my leos.

Ceramic tile --no choice for that in the poll.

Same, tile is so easy to clean. It wasn't an option so I selected papertowel which I use in my rack for hatchlings.

I use both tile, and slate. However, I'm curious, do you all think linoleum (without glue on the back) would work? I have some really nice linoleum that looks like stone that a friend gave me. I've been trying to think about what I could do with it, and thought maybe I could try it with my leos. But, I just don't want to put it in the enclosure if it's not safe.

Paper towels for my Geckos at the moment and newspaper for the snakes.

 

[leolover30]

I use shelf liner.

 

[drblack2013]

I use a mixture of tile and rocks. I feed Archie on the tiles, but at night he likes to walk around on the rocks.

 

[Strange]

I use butchers paper,but i'm thinking about switching to something easier to clean.

 

[OLIVER]

i use exo terra fine sand but im not sure if u should swap for paper towels

 

[grboxa]

^ change from sand to papertowel or slate, its safer in the long run.

 

[BrightReptiles]

I use pressed cellulose fibers


Aka paper towel.

 

[hamby92]

i use ceramic tiles

 

[Cosmo]

My lfs sent me home with sand and the inevitable happened! So know I'm experimenting with slate and porcelain tiles to see how heat transfers!

we use a combination of slate and moss its a pain to clean but it is real pretty and natural looking still has to be cleaned out like every other day. we r new to this we will learn lol

 

[garner63080]

I have been told calci-sand is good as long as it says it's safe for geckos on the package. But i could be wrong. I personally use repticarpet right now.

just got a price for a slab of indian stone/slate, would it be better to cut the slate into 2 or 3 pieces or just leaving it as 1? also going to put some sand underneath to level etc. dont suppose it really matters on the colour does it?
