    Use a piece of string and then measure the string

    Still why the non-adhesive linoleum I have never seen anyone use this. Not saying it cant be used...just never have seen it. I would think the temp of the flooring would be hard to keep right on this. Also when your snake decides to go pee along the sides of the tank I would think it may run down and under the linoleum then you would have to pull the whole thing up and clean it really good then put it back in. May be easy to just wipe the tops, but wait till you have to get underneith it all the time. Just my 2 cents worth.

    Fair enough. We have to do the same thing with the beardies as far as cleaning- it doesn't turn out to be as much work as you would think. We have two sections cut for the viv so if one gets particularly nasty we can just pull the whole thing and swap it out. The loose substrate IMO has been harder to clean up with some of the other critters I've had from time to time. The flooring conducts heat fairly well, actually. My initial thought was that it might conduct heat too well, but it has basically allowed me to turn the dimmer down lower and use less electricity to keep it heated.

    As long as it isn't a health concern, I'm ok with it. Thanks!
