repti carpet is pretty expensive.
i get 2' x 3' doormats from walmart for $4 each. very cheap compared to reptile carpet. its even better in my opinion; its got a ribbed texture, the bottom is rubber so the wet part of the poop wont seep through and they come in 3 different colors; green, black and blue.
here are some pics of the mats in use:
i think it looks great. when they poop on it and its pretty solid i just clean it off carefully and clean the spot with hydrogen peroxide and rinse. if its a really stinky nasty poop, i just throw the rug away and replace it... 4 bucks isnt chump change but i can afford to buy a new piece once every week or two. plus, if you use tile in you cage too it will cut down on messy carpet. i have tiled cages and when they make a mess on them i simply scrape off the poop and wash the individual tiles in hot water and antibacterial soap.
anyhow, hope that helps you save a few bucks :wink: .
