Question Substrate for cresties

Hi guys, i was in Homebase the other day and saw lino tiles, and was wondering if they're suitable to use in the bottom of my viv?

Ive got lino tiles in my leo viv and can't see there being a problem with them being used in a cresties viv. Try wilkinsons online (wilkinsonsplus) i got mine off there for £1.99 a pack and they came really quickly and are good for how cheap they are.

Same here....all my babies are on kitchen roll and I'll probably use eco earth once they are adults. I can't imagine there would be a problem with Lino tiles especially since they spend most of their time above ground level.

Thanks for the replies. He's on kitchen paper for the moment, but only comes down to eat, rest of the time he spends on the vine, or in the plants, esp the ficus, it's his sleeping spot

I saw a lovely lino tile that looks like slate, will look a bit nicer than kitchen paper

Thanks again
