no its coconut bark. It will also work great for your corns,beardies,iguana and many of your other animals. I use it for my corns,leos andbeardies. Also works great for your leos wet shed box/hide.

Bed-a-Beast and Eco-Earth are both made from coconut husks, and is perfectly safe for your geckos or lizards, but keep in mind it is best kept when its moist, so I would suggest something like this only for their shedding/egg laying hutch. I wouldn't suggest laying it out through the whole terrarium.

Stick with paper towels for the rest of the terrarium, they are easy to replace, clean, and great for your gecko's to explore on.

Try buying some slate tiles from Home Depot or something, they look great, and are easy to clean, with a UTH and a light (kept on 12 hours daily) they will do fine! Thats what I use.

I concur, heres mine

I like cage carpet, it is more sanitary. Its also cheaper cuz you only have to buy it once!
