Question for tile users

mizar 21 Jul 11, 2004 12:08 PM

I use ceramic tile in my enclosure, it's nice, easy to clean and no risk of impaction. My gecko eat mealies, i try to give him some in a dish but he prefer to have them on the tile, wiggling. What worries me is that sometimes he take a lunge at them and miss, the tile is smooth but i'm affraid that he can hurt himself banging on the tile like that... Anybody with experience on tile ?

You know what they'll be fine
Mine bang around all the time, tbey climb on top of their hides and fall all over the place thinking they can actually climb.

Same as mine, one of my leo loves climbing on top of his hide, he thinks he can climb glass, but keeps falling . I am a bit worried that he'll hurt himself someday, so I folded a towel on the area where he falls, so he'll have 'soft landings'. But he pooped on it last night...
