Reptile Carpet 118"L x 16"W Natural Coconut Fiber Tortoise Carpet

This reptile carpet is a single brown mat of natural coconut fibre measuring 118 in long, 16 in wide and 0.4 in high (300 x 40 x 1 cm). The manufacturer lists turtles, tortoises, bearded dragons, lizards, snakes, geckos, chameleons, hermit crabs and spiders among the animals it suits. Because the mat is longer than most enclosures are deep, it can be trimmed to the size you need.

Checking the mat against your enclosure

Measure the floor of the terrarium before you order, since the mat arrives at 118 x 16 in (300 x 40 x 1 cm) and a tank wider than 16 in will leave part of the floor uncovered unless you cut the length down and lay the pieces side by side. The mat is meant for indoor use.

The manufacturer states that the mat can be cut to the size needed, so a smaller footprint is trimmed from the sheet rather than ordered in another size. It can also be laid together with a terrarium carpet. The brand also covers chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits and other small animals, and provides the same mat to line their cages, in addition to the turtle, tortoise, bearded dragon, lizard, snake, gecko, chameleon, hermit crab and spider list.

What the pack contains

• One coconut fibre mat, model Y2054, in brown
• A single sheet measuring 118 x 16 x 0.4 in (300 x 40 x 1 cm)

Cutting, laying and cleaning the mat

To fit the mat, cut it down to the size of the enclosure floor. When it needs cleaning, roll the mat up, shake off loose pieces and hang it to dry, as the manufacturer directs. The mat is described as washable and reusable.

How the coconut fibre mat behaves in a terrarium

The mat is made of natural coconut fibre, a soft material that the manufacturer says shields reptiles from moisture, dirt and scratches. It is described as absorbent, moisture-proof and warm, and as not easy to break or deform.

The manufacturer also lists strong filterability, water permeability, air permeability and resilience among its properties. When the mat is off the enclosure floor it folds up for packing and storage.

Caring for and storing the mat

The mat is durable, washable, collapsible and reusable, and the cleaning method stays the same each time: roll it up, shake off loose pieces and hang it to dry. Between uses it folds down so it takes less room in storage.
