Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I've been using Lizard Liner (a green felt carpet)as a substrate. I like the look, it's easy to spot clean and I can feed w/o worry of impaction. Of course, does nothing to help humidity. I change out once a week with a fresh piece no problem.

I also like the look of Reptibark, etc. I've been afraid to use it because I feared I wouldn't be able to do a good job of spot cleaning. Is it as easy to miss messes as I think with Reptibark (and similiar) substrates. Now my little guy is small and messes are small, but I was thinking when it gets bigger (and leaves bigger messes) I might switch to another substrate - thinking it'd be easier to find the 'presents'

If your looking for ease of clean I would stay with carpet. i use a mix of coconut shavings (the stuff that comes in the compact brick)and bark and i have found some urine actually buried in the substate. Now I have to search for buried treasures every once in a while But if it's just laying on top it's not to hard. just pick it up and some of the messed on substrate and replace it with some clean stuff.
