Smelly!

kristy, did you have to get the tile cut to fit your enclosure or did you find a size that worked with the enclosure you have? i'm interested in using some tile myself and just wondering how you did it...

I have the 20 gallon long tanks so it worked out perfect actually. They are exactly 30" x 12". So I got two 12 inch tiles and two 6 inch tiles and they fit perfectly. If you measure your tanks and you find you need the tiles cut, I know both Lowes and Home Depot here will cut the first 5 for free then charge a few cents for each tile after.

When placing the tile down I put two layers of papertowels underneath them so it wasn't so rough on the glass and it would disperse the heat evenly.
Oh and make sure you don't get the glossy tiles, have you ever seen a leo try and walk on one of those lol?

thanks for the help! i bet the glossy tiles are slick--sometimes i let my tortoise run around the kitchen while i clean his enclosure and he slides all over the linoleum. :P

You're welcome. A friend of mine made the mistake of getting the glossy tiles for her leo, it was pretty cute watching him. Like Bambi on ice. So she put papertowels down until she got the ceramic no gloss tiles.

hehehehe my gecko has name some stinkers over the months :crix: but its the price we gotta pay to have some fun and have a good companion
