Are any of you using the aquarium carpet for a substrate? Just curious as to your thoughts on it. I was also wondering if you can use standard indoor/outdoor carpet, or if the stuff sold by the pet stores is actually different.....

Im switching soon. Its get to be a pain, stuff sticks to it and calcium dust gets all over it when you feed. Im switching to slate soon, alot easier to clean. I think you should be able to find slate at home depot. Its fairly natural and looks nice too.
Standard indoor outdoor carpeting has loops that the gecko might catch a nail on so I'd steer away from that. Hope this helps

i personally like it a lot. i've used it for years with my water dragons and recently switched from sand to repti-carpet for my adult leos as well.. i find it to be very little hassle and spot clean every couple of days and compelety change carpet once a month or every couple of weeks.. you can simply wash it off and throw it in the dryer or hang dry it. i have spare carpets laying around so when i have to clean the carpet i replace it and then wash the dirty one... really cheap and attractive
