Brown reptile mat

BrdedDrgon said:

After dealing with hard-to-clean reptile carpet for years, I have been doing research about an easily cleanable alternative, and I found reptile mats. These seem great, they provide traction and beardie poop smell doesn’t soak into them like carpet. However, all I can find are black ones. These seem not very natural-looking and I am going for a more realistic natural environment look. Are there any good brown reptile mats that wouldn’t look so out of place in my beardie habitat? To be clear, I don’t want brown reptile carpet, this is what I have used for years and wanted to move away from. I’m wondering if there are brown or tan-colored versions of plastic reptile mats to put in my beardie’s terrarium.

Haven't seen them only black - Zen habitat sells them for a 4x2x2 tank -- they work nice

Thank you! Also, in my research I’ve heard that this type of mat absorbs heat. In your experience, would this be to a level where it would be uncomfortably warm to a beardie?

I agree with Karrieree, the Zen mats are great, and are the easiest substrate I've used to clean up.

Does the easy cleanup make them permanent, or do they need to be replaced?

I assume you mean yes to the first part. Thank you!
