GECKOPIA Reptile Bedding Substrate Leopard Review

This is a pretty good mat perfect for my bearded dragon tank. It is nice and thick and of a pleasant color; it fits very well in my aquarium. My beard looks happy and runs around in it.

I put this in my bearded dragon's cage and at first she didn't know what to think but now she likes it. It nestles softly against their abdominal scales and protects them from the cold ground. I've extended it under her bath cave area to keep her snug when she dips in to beat the heat. With their sharp claws, time will tell their durability, but so far so good. I like that it can be washed and spot cleaned.

PROS: + Washable/reusable + Tan color, more natural for a leopard gecko + Non-slip rubber bottom + Good packaging: This reptile liner is a lot better than the cheap green liner I had before. I can say that my gecko loves the color and feels better because he is walking more now than before. I think he likes it. I hope it holds up well when I wash it for the first time. I will update the rating after washing.

Soft, clean, keeps a little warmer for her with no problems with the possible choking of wood chips.

I use it in a bearded dragon cage. I used to have an included liner that was brown and a bit scratchy. It was good, but it just didn't hold up over time. On the contrary, this one has a rubber backing so it doesn't slide on the glass. Also, because it's mostly waterproof, not all urine gets on the glass, and other liquids don't settle under the mat to fester and get dirty. Also, the upper is very soft, and while it's not meant to be "soft," it actually is a bit soft. It's easy to throw in the…

I originally wrote a review below but I have more information and it's not good. As I mentioned below, this size is slightly larger than the listed size as it will shrink to fit; This is indicated in the photo, which shows the mats in different sizes. As feared, the upper fabric layer shrinks, but the lower rubber layer does not. I have posted pictures of how this item looks after just one wash. And it's actually gotten worse since I've been taking pictures. The rug used to lie perfectly flat…
