as for the carpet issue in the cage, i use indoor / outdoor carpet in all of my enclosures.
it is a low shag and very fast drying carpet.
usually the urates come right out, but sometimes they dont, when this happens i just wash it in my bathtub.
i let it soak a bit, then use the massage setting on my showerhead and a old toothbrush to clear any stuck on urates.
it is also fast drying, it will completely shed the water out of the carpet within an hour of hanging. and it is made to prevent bacterial growth in the carpet.
the risk of impaction is reduced, there is no danger of the snake ingesting part of he rug, and it looks nice.( i opt for green or brown)
oh and the nicest part, it is dirt cheap, go to your local building supply and ask if they have any end of rolls or cut scraps of indoor/ outdoor carpet.
last time i got 2 ft x 20ft for 5$
