BIG improvement for my bearded dragons

I use this in my bearded dragon terrarium. They had sand when I first bought them, and it could not be kept clean. They'd constantly track it into their food dish, and no amount of sifting could handle the food particles and waste. I switched over to this repti-mat, I'm happy and the dragons are happy! Every week I remove everything from their terrarium, shake this outside, brush it off, and it's good to go. I replace it every 2-3 months. No more sand in their food, and it's really easy to keep clean. It comes in a large sheet, which you can cut down to size to suit your needs.

Dragon trap

Fit my 40 gal breeder tank just swell. My beardie always flops himself underneath it and gets stuck though. A bit comical

Good Quality Substrate

Easy to clean and use; its basically just a sheet of felt. We like to keep one in the tank, and one on hand for when we clean up in there, so we can just swap right away rather than have to clean it and wait for it to dry before replacing it. It's a bit large for our 40 gallon tank, but it can be easily trimmed to size or folded under. Pic attached showing our bearded dragon Fireball, and the product below him. We used to use a gravelly, desert-looking substrate, and while the look was really cool, it was difficult to clean because of the uneven, rocky surface. Also we would hose it off in our tub, and rocks/debris would be all over the place when we were done. No such issues with this. Does it look as cool? No. But you must accept the good with the bad, I suppose. :)

Solid Product

I love this reptile carpet. Particularly for my snakes and leopard gecko, this substrate really does seem to work the best and make for the easiest clean up. I've tried aspen, sand, pellets, tile, the whole gamut, and this does win out as my favorite substrate and I think my reptile's favorite as well. For bearded dragons this is probably not practical (they're too messy) - I use Zilla pellets for them. I also don't use this for my water dragon in favor of a substrate that holds humidity better but that's my personal choice. Highly recommend buying two of these for each enclosure you plan on using this in and switching them out after sanitizing them. That's the best and easiest system I've worked out. They hold up well to hand washing.

Marriage Saving Odor Control

Okay, so, what happened was, one day my husband wanted a lizard... two weeks later we had four. All of them are rescued bearded dragons, and two of the three came to out homes in sand filled terrariums. The first morning we woke up the to smell of baking poop sand was enough to make me want to burn down my house. Luckily, this carpet exists. I use it in all the terrariums and couldn't be happier. They are so super easy to clean too, so there is is literally never any poop left over. What i usually do is to pick up by rolling it up and taking it outside, quickly spray off with the hose, shake it out, and hang it on the fence to dry. The dragons are very pleased too, i don't think they miss the sand at all. One issue I've heard is potentially a problem with reptile carpet is that it can snag on their nails. I don't have an issue with this however, as my dragons claws are rubbed down my constant scurrying ans scrabbling over concrete slabs and various branches. Though i will say, my sister's dragon has wicked claws that are like obnoxiously painful, and her's has never had an issue with snagging, so perhaps its just a myth. I will continue to buy these, probably in other colors because its nice to change up the look of the dragon homes.

Very good product excellent condition after cleaning

This is a very good products especially if you I looking for something simple and easy to clean of course you can always go cheaper and buy sand but I recommend if you do by sand to lightly coat the bottom because sand tends to attract mites and other weird small jumping little gnat looking creatures to appear in your tank so this is definitely a safer alternative also there's no substrate to worry about. I would recommend though if you are buying this product two by two of them because when you take one out to clean it it needs to dry before it goes back in and all I needed was hot water and it cleaned very very well the first time. I've had this in my tank for a month now and just cleaned it in the picture below is how it looks now after I cleaned it I really didn't put much effort into it other than boiling hot water under the sink and rocks outside so it doesn't blow away and so the carpet stays flat I would also recommend getting a soft bristle to scrape unmentionables away so you're not wasting water no chemical is really needed to clean this and I spent $8 on this it was well worth it I just wish I had another one. The only issue I really have with this is that when it dries it does shrivel, thus the reason the rocks are on it while it dries

Love it!!!

Love, love, love this! In fact I bought two so that I could just swap it out each time I needed to for my dragon. She is able to walk on it just fine. It's super easy to clean (I just spray it off in the shower, roll it up and let it dry on the side). It doesn't adhere to the tank but we have enough things like water dishes and reptile hides that it isn't a problem at all. Another great aspect to this versus tile or linoleum is that you don't have to use any cleaners, just water! This has definitely exceeded my expectations!

Great

This is a carpet type liner which is intended as an alternative to using sand or other loose substrate which can cause impaction if ingested. I brought this product to cover the sides of my bearded dragon's cage, so he wouldn't be stressed seeing his reflection. I found the liner easy to cut, and was able to attach with Velcro so it can be removed for cleaning if needed. My dragon seems happy with it - he likes to climb it and hangs there on it quite often. You can also use Velcro to secure temp probe wires etc on to it so they don't clutter the cage floor. The carpet is a nice color that fits the cage decor. It does not seem to cause any problems with my dragon catching his nails in it.

Great for bearded dragons!

I love these so much! They fit my bearded dragon's 40 gallon breeder tank perfectly (some other 40 gallon reptile carpets don't fit the breeder size tanks, check dimensions carefully)!!! My little guy seems to like them and doesn't try to eat them like he has constantly whenever I've experimented with various substrates. Cleanup is a breeze as they can be gently scrubbed with a cleaning brush and/or hosed off. They say they are machine washable but I never wanted to put them through my apartment washing machine. I wouldn't feed loose live feeder insects on this because they can climb under the sides to hide. When I fwd on this I either feed using tweezers or I carefully watch the food to make sure they don't get away from my beardie to hide.

Great and clean product.

Great product! Before purchasing this substrate I was using newspaper and this does not compare. Newspaper is so messy and inconvenient, especially if like me, you do not get the paper to your house.It wipes very easily with a wet paper towel. Weekly I rinse it with water under the sink and let it dry. I am going to purchase a second one that way while the one that is wet is drying, I can put the other one in her tank. I have a 55 gallon tank and i had to cut it a bit for size. It is a thick material so be careful while cutting since you will need to use a sharp scissor or blade to make clean cuts. It would be a little bit easier if they made them specifically for the size of the tank so they fit flush, but it is OK it only takes a few minutes to cut to size.
