I have been using reptile carpets for my bearded dragon for a few months but it is so annoying too clean and I have to clean it every day. I want to try using ceramic tile instead since its much easier to clean and take care of. I was wondering where I could buy the tile and if I should cut the tile to fit my tank my self or have someone cut it for me.

Try one of the "big box" home improvement stores, like Lowes or Home Depot. They usually have a lot in stock. Depending on the size of your tank, and the size of the tile you're getting, you may need to have it cut or do it yourself (depending on how handy you are). I just got 6x6 tiles, and they fit perfectly in the tank, are easy to remove for cleaning, work like a dream - but many folks get the larger tiles and have them cut to size.
(You'll LOVE tile. So much easier to keep spic and span!)
I got my slated ceramic tile from Home Depot for $13 for a 4x2x2 tank - you haft to figure out what kind of tile you want in there NO smooth and make sure it has a semi rough texture to it Nothing real rough --- I will post a pic of my tile I got
and this is what it looks like in the tank
I have two tanks w/ the same tile - my husband had to cut the tile w/ a tile cutter ---
