I use Repti-Carpet made by ZooMed and I love it.

They come 2 per pack so you just swap them, then spray the dirty one with Chlorhexidine and toss it in the wash. It take me 3 minutes to clean the cage. How can you say that cypress mulch is easier to clean? I used to use Aspen but it was a pain in the arse to clean. Poo was alway stuck to the glass, and a full cleaning meant dumping out a huge pile of "sawdust" that gets everywhere, and a trip to the bathtub to scrub out all the poo. took close to 30 minutes then. But the worst part about aspen was trying to get the tank hot enough. with a one to two inch layer, the heat from the uth simply could not reach reqd temps. aspen is an excellent insulator. i have perfect consistant temps with the repti carpet and i dont have a thermostat yet, just a lamp dimmer.
