I have reptile carpet in my beardie's 20 gal tank but I just got a 55 gal last night and am in the process of getting it set up for him. I want to make sure I do it right as he is my first reptile.
I'm going with a non particle substrate since he'll eat pretty much anything (except his dubia roaches ?) and I need suggestions. I like the reptile carpet except for two things: it retains a bit of a raunchy stench from his monster poops even after a good scrubbing and it sometimes gets caught in his nails. I'm probably going to keep it for part of his tank. I've seen people say not to use the adhesive tiles but why is that? Is it a health reason? I bought some last night after getting the tank but haven't done anything with them so they can be returned.
