Eco Carpet

A solid, non-particulate terrarium liner for keepers who want to cut out loose substrate entirely, the lowest-risk floor for a young or high-risk feeder while impaction risk is highest.

Our take

A young bearded dragon or any reptile still learning to aim at its food is the animal most likely to take a mouthful of loose substrate along with a feeder insect, and this carpet removes that risk by giving the enclosure a solid floor instead. It is a soft, absorbent liner cut to standard tank sizes, non-abrasive on the belly and feet, and it lifts out for a rinse and reuse rather than being replaced like loose bedding. It reads as less naturalistic than sand or soil, that is the trade-off for cutting particulate substrate out of the diet entirely.

Good to know

  • Soft, absorbent, non-abrasive liner
  • Cut to standard tank sizes (10 to 55 gallon)
  • Washable and reusable
  • No loose particles to be ingested

Who it is for

  • Juvenile bearded dragons and other high-risk feeders
  • Anyone moving away from loose substrate after an impaction scare

Who should skip it

  • Keepers who want a naturalistic, diggable substrate look
  • Species that need to burrow, a liner gives them nothing to dig into
