Zilla Reptile Terrarium Bedding Substrate Floor Liner, Brown, 10G, 9.75" x 19.75"

This substrate liner has been very convenient. I am new to owning a reptile and after much research, I found that most people agree that a substrate liner is the safest option for a baby leopard gecko. Apparently, whatever loose substrate is placed in the terrarium will end up in their mouths and cannot always pass through safely. This particular liner stood out to me due to its price point but I am happy to say that the quality is there as well.I chose the brown color since my terrarium is more of a rocky desert scene. I have a 10 gallon tank and I found the 10 gallon liner fit perfectly without needing adjustment. I just unrolled it and put it right in. The ends do curl a bit at first but straighten out fairly quickly. I have not had any issues with my gecko getting stuck to this liner. I have removed it once so far for cleaning. It was a little strange to clean a piece of scratchy felt and I had to rinse for a while. However, when I was done, the mat dried very quickly and looked as good as new. I am quite happy about that.In fact, I have such a favorable impression of this product that I have already purchased a second one of these so that I can place in a clean one immediately when I take a dirty one out to wash. I think I will continue using this product even as my gecko gets older since it is so convenient. Its also more sanitary than traditional substrate I think. There are less places for germs to be and also, it is easier to see when the substrate needs changed. As a bonus, it also gives insects less hiding places.

Easy to clean and use; its basically just a sheet of felt. We like to keep one in the tank, and one on hand for when we clean up in there, so we can just swap right away rather than have to clean it and wait for it to dry before replacing it. It's a bit large for our 40 gallon tank, but it can be easily trimmed to size or folded under. Pic attached showing our bearded dragon Fireball, and the product below him.We used to use a gravelly, desert-looking substrate, and while the look was really cool, it was difficult to clean because of the uneven, rocky surface. Also we would hose it off in our tub, and rocks/debris would be all over the place when we were done. No such issues with this. Does it look as cool? No. But you must accept the good with the bad, I suppose. :)

This works perfectly for my daughter two year old hybrid orange bearded dragon. Crickets,Dubai and hornworms can’t get under the carpet if they escape the bowl.It’s easy to clean with a garden hose or spray it down in the shower. Dries pretty quick and don’t seem to hold odors.If you don’t trim your herps nails they may snag on the fibers. Once I “tipped” the nails with a little nail scissor, the beardie doesn’t get his nails caught.It’s a lot easier and healthier than calcium sand or bark

I love the look and texture of this bedding, but it's just slightly too long for my 40 gal long tank. Not horrible though, I just trimmed off about an inch or so, but that's what made it lose a star, in my opinion, just for the inconvenience. It's very easy to clean and absorbs some of the more liquid feces, which definitely cut down on that distinct beardie poop smell. I bought two so I could immediately put in a new clean one once I took the old one out to be cleaned. Also, because it's packaged in a roll, it has a curve to it and takes a long time to settle down flat. It's a big enough curve that crickets can crawl underneath and either get crushed or die of dehydration, so I'm losing a lot of them and the crushed ones are a little difficult to clean. Hopefully it'll settle down soon and that won't be a problem anymore.

I use this liner as a protective barrier in my BP tank to keep him from making direct contact to the glass bottom over the under tank heater. This seems to work very well. I use the 18x36 in a 40gal breeder tank and had to trim off about ¾” from the end (long side). I’d rather have to trim than have it too small though. The width was perfect. I like the brown color because it blends in with the Eco Earth bedding that I use and the liner is very soft for the animal. When it’s time to clean, it washes up very easy with a hose and air dries quickly. I do have 2 so that there is always one ready to put back in. I also use a green one alone on the bottom of my Crested Gecko tank. Clean-up is very easy. These carpets seem like they would be great for many kinds of reptiles and I believe they were originally intended to be used alone.

This Zilla Reptile Terrarium Liner is super easy to take care of. It's easy to clean - just spray it down and let it dry. And it dries in no time. It's durable, and it holds up very well. The price is reasonable enough that we have 2, so we can switch them out when the terrarium is cleaned. That way, a clean one goes back in while the used one is being cleaned and drying. I'd recommend it.

I was hesitant posting this but , I've been buying this brand for YEARS never had any complaints, I ordered a new mat on the 31st of August. Installed it on September 1st. Didn't think anything of it. I got a brown one, I live in a basement and lighting is dim and so I never noticed them because they were so tiny , on September 4th my lizards tank, my fridge, the shelf above my lizards tank the carpet surrounding my fridge which I had to tear up, engulfed by bugs. All of my bearded dragons things other than a rock had to be thrown away my shelf had to be thrown away I had to tear up my carpet, it's the 11th and I just threw away the last thing I think still had bugs next is bombing my room. I will not be ordering this product through Amazon again. The first representative I talked to was very rude considering I was being fairly cordial considering my situation. Of having to throw about 200$ worth of tank enrichment which all has now 2x in price since inflation.

I am extremely content with my purchase mainly because I bought it at a ridiculously low price. I got the 50 gallon in brown for less than $12! What a steal! Now I have so much of it that I can chop it up into multiple pieces small enough for my 10 gallon... I just bought a baby Mexican Black Kingsnake and this substrate is perfect for her. It makes cleaning her home so easy. You just swap out the used for the new and then wash off the used one to be used again. Basically I will do that for a bunch of rounds until I need to toss the used substrate out for reaching the end of its life. Then, I grab another new cutting of the 50 gallon and swap it in for the old substrate that was tossed. I’ll do this again and again. I’m not sure how long I’ll be using each cut of substrate - I haven’t determined a time. I’m going to leave that up to my snake, because it really matters how often she uses it and how much it is able to be cleaned. Anyways, like I said, I’m very happy with my purchase, not only because this substrate is the most snake and human companion friendly for its ease of use, but also because I lucked out with the price.

Para mis geckos leopardo he probado arena (es malísima para la salud de los geckos), corteza de coco, peat moss y en definitiva me quedo con este tapete. Es muy fácil de limpiar y lavar, no guarda olores y mis geckos son muy felices en este sustrato porque los grillos y cucarachas no se pueden esconder como en la corteza de coco. Yo compré dos para poder usar uno mientras el otro esta secándose después de lavarlo.

Easy to clean. My bearded dragon seems happy in it, which is the important bit!
