Does anyone use repticarpet with their geckos? Is this a safe alternative to paper towels? I have used paper towels forever but the repticarpet attracts me because it is easy to clean, and will not tear or rip like the paper towels. It also saves on waste. I have a sterilite container rack system so the carpets would be on the plastic. I am also hoping it is harder for crickets to crawl under. Is the commerical repticarpet the only choice, or is there a similar carpet that can be purchased at home depot or anything? Anyone who uses this that can shed light on the pros and cons? Thank you!

I just switched all my tanks from the sand to repti-carpet. I looked at the carpet at home depot, and it doesn't look much different, but its 3 times the cost. I'm having to use Bed-A-Beast in the hides to keep the temps good, but otherwise I'm very pleased with it so far.

Even though it is more I may have to get it because the repti-carpet does not fit the dimensions of the sterilites that I have. The 13" x 48" is short on the width by an inch - i wonder if this is ok? Do you remember the price and what isle it is on? Thanks Jeff
