"I adopted a young blue tongue skink who was poorly taken care off and as a result lost every single one of his toes and now has very sensitive feet because of his injuries. This bedding is amazing for him. There is no lose parts, no dust. Its a single piece of sturdy and absorbent "carpet". Very easy to clean, I wash it in the tub or sink with hot water and soap, rinse throughly and hang dry. I have tried many different bedding types, including sand, dirt, mulch, walnut shells, and even small animal bedding and this cage carpet is the only thing that works perfectly. My Benjamin is now 3 years old and could not be happier. He can walk now, and even climb. This product is a miracle for sensitive reptiles."
