Looking for a new substrate!

[ca3782x]

I've had my bearded dragon on repti-carpet for about a month. I've used paper towels and fleece fabrics in the past. But I'm looking for something that will make the tank look, 'prettier.'

I know sand is almost always a no-go and I don't have the supplies to cut tile (and sadly, the Home Depot and Lowe's near me doesn't offer that service.)

I was wondering if anyone has any other ideas? I want the tank to look more natural. Thanks!

Piece together smaller pieces of tile. That's what I had to do. It really is a superior substrate.

Where do you get yours? I checked Home Depot and Lowe's and I couldn't find anything smaller than standard kitchen tiles.

I purchased 3 6x36 tiles for my 36x18 enclosure and had them take it down an inch on the length and an inch off one of the widths to fit snuggly inside. Home Depot cuts tile for free, and it was back by the flooring (carpet, laminate, etc)

Yeah, the Home Depot near me doesn't I asked them to cut some slate tile for me and they said they don't cut tile. Same with the Lowe's in my area.

Aw heck.
I think someone else had mentioned theirs does not as well. I have never used a wet saw, but that's an option if you have one to cut tile to size

I think Home Depot and Lowe's also sell the thing self adhesive tiles. I'm pretty sure they can be cut with a scissors or knife because they're so thin. I almost bought those but then I found out the lowes near me cuts tile.

You can also use non adhesive shelf liner. It comes in different sizes and prints plus easy to clean.
