Help!?

[Jeff]

I use conventional substrates most of the time, but I do use carpet for my gravid females, and skinks that I am monitoring closely for any reason. I get my carpet from Home Depot or Lowe's in the carpet department. I buy it off the roll. I have been using indoor/outdoor carpet that is pretty much the same thing as "repttile carpet". It is liike 12' wide, so 3' of it is enough for (6) 36"x 18" enclosures. It is very cheap to buy this way. I had never thought about the toe thing that James mentioned. I think I will upgrade to artificial turf for this reason. The artificial turf can be bought off the roll as well, and it is even cheaper than what I have been using.

I clean mine exactly like James described, but after I hose it off, I throw the pieces in the washing machine.
