Anyone try ARS-Corrugated Tub Liners?

reptileray Feb 19, 2012 11:55 AM

I am looking to find something new for cage liners. I used sani chips for long time. I switched to unprinted newspaper and like it alot better but waste alot of time cutting paper. I was trying to find out about ARS-Corrugated Tub Liners. good ? bad? do they absorb water good etc? thanks guys

Didn't know they were available until I saw this post. Just ordered 300 of them. Been using sani-chips myself for about 5 years, and no real complaints with that. But besides ease of cleaning, the two things I am hoping for with these pre-cut liners are being able to (a) reduce flexwatt temps a bit and (b) free up a little more head room for the bigger adults. So can't help you with your question, least not for awhile, but thanks for alerting me to the availability of this product. Can't wait to try them...Dave

They are OK, we ordered some but I have to say once they are all gone I don't think we will order them again, the one main problem with them is they mold very easily. They are pieces of cardboard with holes punched in them for the water bowls, essesntially. I also don't like Sani Chips in the ARS tubs, they seem to mold very fast as well. Also by very fast im meaning if the snakes soaks in the water bowl and spills some there will be mold in there as soon as 24 hours. If you have a smaller collection they are great but with a few hundred it's hard!

What do we use at bedding right now? We use TEK-Fresh and Paper towels! Except for the Bloods and Carpets, they get Cypress.
