Getting Tile

[Jpiroden]

I heard Tile is a really nice substrate and I think I'm going to get some, but is it really expensive? I have like $56 to spend on remodeling Khomez's viv, and I would like to have SOME left over He has ReptiCarpet right now but it just isn't doing it for me or him, his claws keeps getting hooked in the threads. His tank right now is 32x18x18.

I spent $13.29 on enough tile to cover one of my dragons tanks. And it was pretty nice tile IMO.

I think I spent $1.29 per 12x12 ceramic tile. for my 4x2x2 enclosure, I used 8 tiles.

i think i'm going to go with tile too when i get my enclosure, i like the look of a tiled habitat over paper-towel or repile-carpet

I got slate tile at home depot for 14.70 a box (5 tiles) not sure where your getting $56 from but seems expensive.

Heh, I told my mom i wanted tile, of course like all people who think they know about beardie's, she said Khomez wouldn't like that, she said that he likes SAND :roll: I had to lecture her(XD) that yes there is some sand in where they live but mostly rocky rual areas of Australia. then she understood but said that Tile was like $50-$60 a box! she's checking it out now but that pricing really dampened my hope

i think i spent less than 20$ to tile my 40g breeder with some slate and ceramic

I am also going to get tile soon, but I was wondering if I have to put anything under the tile?

I was think that same question also. I don't have anything under mine, but I have a melamine enclosure and the tile won't hurt that. The bottom of tile is kind of rough so I was thinking it might scratch a glass surface over time. I suppose you could put paper towel under it. it seems it would be a pain when the poopie wetness gets between the tiles to replace the paper towel.

thats sounds like a good idea

 

[Claudiusx]

I put two layers of papertowel down then I laid my tiles.

I checked out menards today, stone tile was 2 bucks a tile and the largest size was 18x18, so it would cost me about 4 bucks and whatever amount it would cost to get it cut. But one question im pondering, whats better? ceramic with a glaze(its cheaper) or stone?

 

[FoothillBeardie]

I think the glazed might be to slippery. I like the slate.

 

[voidpresence]

i saw slate mentioned... how is that compare to tile?

i would like the black color better, but it's not up to me, it's for the beardie.
