Perfect substrate for my Gilla Monster

I used this carpet in a way to line my Gilla Monster tank. Regular reptile carpets and liners can snag the nails due, to their fiber structure. This specific carpet resembles grass with fibers that don't form loops like carpets reducing the risk of my dragons nails getting stuck. It's easy to clean by rinsing, sanitizing and drying in the sun. I placed pads underneath to absorb any spills and its been effective so far. My vet advised against using sand after finding traces of it in her x ray due to ingestion. Although I was initially reluctant to remove the sand for a more natural enclosure setup I prioritized her safety. This carpet serves as a substrate for a gilla monster enclosure and adds a nice touch of natural color. I also placed some on top of her egg laying box, which was easy to customize with plenty left for pieces or even a rug, for our porch. By cutting it to fit the tank and into three strips I can easily replace sections without removing the carpet when she goes potty. I always switch out the pad with a fresh one then clean the carpet outside sanitize it and let it dry under the sun. It takes effort compared to sand. At least I don't have to stress about her swallowing any sand. I'm crossing my fingers that this carpet stays in shape for a time!
