Thoughts on microfiber

[elderstarr]

For my new leo's tank I have decided to try a microfiber cloth to use as a substrate. I picked up some automotive detailing towels from costco, and put them through a wash cycle to make sure they were clean.

I did a search on this, only finding one other user of microfiber and no followup. My leo seems to enjoy it, and i feel its safer than the repti-carpet since there are no large loops to catch its toes on. The only problem I have is that crickets can find their way under it to hide.

The microfiber may only be temporary until I can find a tile saw to cut to the shape of Binder's tank.

Thoughts?

I feel that gecko would have problems getting stuck in the fibers. Tile or paper towel.

I thought so as well, but he doesn't seem to get stuck. He can dash around the tank after a cricket with no difficulty. But like I said, its only temporary until I build a tile floor.
