I have heard a lot of contradicting opinions about this stuff and i was wondering what everyone thinks about this for gecko's but in particular, golden gecko's. it seems like it would be really easy to maintain and he wouldnt get the coco husk in his mouth when he eats and when he sheds.
this is what im talking about

i have heard the issues with feet and claws getting stuck but ive felt it myself and feels really smooth, almost like felt

You wont be able to keep your humidity up as well with that.

but thats the thing as well, ive noticed that when i first put my coco husk in, it was alwys moist but now its all dried up is it because i need to replace it or just get it good and wet again? and the humidity issue aside is this going to be okay for him to live on??

I dont like "reptile carpet" and i would never suggest it for any animal. Even if your coco husk looks dry there is still more moisture in there than you realize. You don't want to make it wet every time you mist then you are just going to make a place for mold and fungus to grow.

it's not really supposed to stay wet, in fact thats probably a bad thing is it stays wet cause of bacteria build up

i don't think screen cages are a good idea unless you live in florida or somewhere with high humidity as is. then you'd just be misting for water drinking

screen cages?

ohhh, my bad, i saw "terrarium liner" and thought of this thing

Apogee Reptarium SofTray - 22 g Tall

its a tray that lies on the bottom to catch waste, which is like a liner, or is a liner i guess. w/e.

Anything that Zilla makes is garbage, it's a terrible company. They make products that they can sell to people; not products that are good for the animals. Don't buy it.

I hear their cages like Exo makes are crap. . the latch brakes on them and you cant get the door open and stuff like that.
