Exo Terra Exo Terra Moss Mat, 45 X 45 Cm (18" X 18")

Super soft and fleecy, my crested gecko seems to really like this mat in her vivarium. I like it better than other substrates I've used. It's easy to clean and looks very natural. I did notice it smelled a little funny when I first got it so I let it sit out for a few days. The smell went away and I felt safe using using it. It's easy to cut to fit. Will buy again!

I used this product in my aquarium to create a little hobbit hole hill "hide" for my axolotls. It works great. Is backed by foam so does want to float if used underwater so if you intend to use it that way you'll want to silicone or use stones to hold it down. My axolotls love hanging out on it and it seems nice and soft for their delicate skin. Very happy with this purchase

My bearded dragon loves to lay on this carpet. It's soft and furry like sherpa, not like faux grass. The color and size is nice and fits great in a section of the 70 gallon tank.

The mat fit perfectly in the 40 gallon we have! It is a bit of a pain to clean but doesn't hold water or any other liquid in the material until it evaporates. My snake loves it

Very soft and as described but I was a little bummed that my roll had 1-1.5 inches bare. Not sure if this was due to it being the end of a roll and just a fluke or not. I bought it because it was the exact length I needed and am a little bummed at the "bald" appearance on the one end. Not worth returning over though so I'll deal with it.Update: 6/20/16I have now used this product for a while and have washed several times. Very durable and easy to care for. I will likely buy another so that I always have one clean one to use while the other washes and dries.

Used this as a background for my scorpion tank. Arrived on time and in good condition. I also layed a small piece down on the cool side of the tank. Would definitely purchase again.

This is great. Easy to cut to fit although I advise against pulling because this will stretch and warp the mat causing it not to lay flat. Snake loves this though. He is either in his heated water bowl or slithering laps on this mat and it looks great.

Words don’t accurately describe my bitter feelings towards this product. I bought the Exo Terra Moss Mat, Small 18" x 18" because it was one of the few that would fit in my chameleon cage; apparently it’s not a common dimension for reptile carpets. I saw the poor review on it and figured it couldn’t be that bad after all I’ve never had an issue with the Exo Terra brand.Now I’m a realist I’m aware that if you want an amazing cage liner or substrate you’re going to have to invest more than the $11.14 that I bought this product for. I’m also aware that stock photos are made to give the best impression of the product they are selling. But when I opened the Amazon box and saw little bits of green fluff I was starting to feel a little disappointed and that feeling hit home when I took the mat out of the box it came in. The stock picture shows a happy little dart frog sitting on some super realistic fake moss and the box cutout were you can see the product makes it look just like what was pictured on the box. In reality its green fun foam (the type you can get at a craft store) with strands of green fibers which I think maybe cotton because they were a little absorbent “glued” to it. Now when I say “glued” I mean someone slathered some glue to the fun foam and stuck the fiber on, which left a LOT of loose ones which I plucked off. I ended up with and hand full and a slightly spot bare mat. But they used green fun foam so it wasn’t too obvious. At this point I was starting to feel a little ripped off but didn’t want to go through the hassle of returning it. So in the cage it went… sort of. It wasn’t entirely square and I did have to cut it a little but then once cut to the right size I realized it still didn’t want to fit. You see they sell it to you rolled up in a box which isn’t a problem for most liners and mats but the foam to the day I threw it out never sat flat. This at first didn’t seem like a huge problem with a few rolls but I feed my chameleon a variety of feeders such a dubia roaches. Dubia don’t like light and don’t climb which left them scurrying around the bottom searching for a hiding place until they found the rolls and hid under the mat which left me multiple times fishing them out to try and get my chameleon to eat them only to have them scurry back under.Now the above product is probably around a two star product but what follows is why I don’t think this mat is deserving of any stars at all and why I’m quite disappointed with Exo Terra as a brand. You know those loose strands I was talking about, well the ones that were still attached some when stretched out measured about two or more inches which became a problem with feeders. Crickets and roaches along with other feeders have hairs or spiky things on their legs and exoskeleton which can become entangled in the mat. If you have a fast eater like a chameleon and they gobble up a tangled in the fiber you run a risk of impaction which can be fatal. I managed to stop my chameleon from eating some of the fibers stuck to a cricket which probably would have killed him. After that I took out the mat and through it in the garbage.In the end I bought “Duck Smooth Top Easy Non-Adhesive Shelf Liner, Marble Gray” which was recommended on a reptile forum. I’ve had it a day already and its working great, it lays flat in the cage, is easy to clean, the no slip backing prevents it from needing to be adhered to the cage, but most importantly it’s not going to hurt my chameleon.
