I used this while my gecko was a baby because you shouldn't use sand with baby reptiles due to them accidentally ingesting it. Once my gecko got big and old enough I switched her to calcium sand. It worked alright but I ended it switching back to this carpet. It works so well, is well priced and is safe. You can even wash it and reuse it. It's definitely the best substrate!

I purchased a 50 Gallon sized tan mat for my Leapord Gecko's 20 gallon tank. I wanted to make sure I had enough for an extra mat just incase, as it was cheaper that way. Good thing I did, as my boyfriend decided to buy a Leapord Gecko shortly after. First off, I find that the tan color really added to our gecko's terrariums, as it matches all the desert decor we have for them. Second, these are SO easy to clean - Throw them in he washer with an all natural detergant on a gentle cycle, you can wash them in the sink with the solution thats recommended on the box, or outside with the hose and same solution. Our geckos love curling up all in the mat to sleep and they get amazing traction when hunting down thier crickets. Best of all - There's no worry about impact from them ingesting the sand. I also loved the fact that the company uses recycled materials to make these mats and if you contact them, they will send you a free lighting guide. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!!

I use these mats for my leopard geckos. In previous years I used newspaper or paper towel, but these mats allow the geckos some traction as they chase their food.

I have sent them through the gentle cycle in my washing machine with a very mild detergent (meant for handwashing delicates) and vinegar, then allowing them to go through an extra two rinse cycles. They don't fall apart at all. They occasionally pick up a little lint ball or two you can simply pick off.

Pros: looks great, easy to clean

I just bought a new little leopard gecko and he came with this carpet in the green for 10 gallon tanks. It doesnt quite fit but i fixed it by cutting a bit off of the end. Anyways this is the best deal out there. It can last over two years with proper care! All you have to do is brush the stuff off of the carpet in warm water. Just hold the carpet upright and the water will drain out. I just bought a 180 gallon breeder for my beardie and it would cost over $100 to fill it with sand! I will be getting these reptile carpets for him too!

I just got the eco carpet 2 days ago, and my leopard gecko looks super comfy and happy on it! :) It is a great substrate because your reptile can not accidentally eat the substrate or get impacted when you are feeding your lizard on the carpet! It looks very nice in the terrarium, and I would definitely recommend this for a leopard gecko or a bearded dragon. Overall it is a great substrate. :) I hope that helps!

I purchase this for my leopard gecko. This is the perfect and safest substrate you can possibly get and not to mention how good it looks in the tank in Dark Green. It is reusable and much flatter with the more washes. I wash it once a month with warm water. Good product get it!!

I bought this for my leopard gecko, hearing it was really easy to clean. What I was hearing was right. It looks awesome, is soft, totally easy to clean, and is the best carpet ever! Tip: When they list the sizes saying one is made for 50 gallons, or 29 to 30, believe them. I have a 29 to 30 gallon tank, and bought the 50 gallon carpet just be sure it would fit, I practically have another carpet left to cut off and use! So if you don't want any extra carpet, listen to the sizing info. Otherwise, always get the 50 gallon. Great product!

Pros: easy to clean, looks great

Sand and Carpet is both the same mostly. But there some differences like, the carpet is easier to clean sometime, I think and it looks more clean in the cage and you can reuse it over and over again. Sand is really hard to clean and it looks messy but good price . And my beardie Nathaniel, seems to like it better to
