Carpet Question

[Ashleigh]

Okay so I got this carpet and I was wondering before I used it, does anyone know if this is safe for my reptiles. I got it from Christophers.

this is what the bottom of the carpet rubber part is made out of.

backing system Ecoworx

backing description:
100% PVC-free recyclable backing system with recycled content made from thermoplastic polyolefin compound with a reinforcing layer.

where
high performance enviroments requiring modular flooring,

why
thermoplastic alternative to PVC
dimensional stability of PVC with 50% less weight
Superior delamination and edge ravel strengths to PCV
lower VOCs and smoke density test results than PVC
100% recyclable with recycled content and lower embodied energy than PVC

backing process

5 step process
1. performance precoat for maximum tuft bind
2.thermoplastic laminate for superior delamination strength
3. fiberglass reinforcement for unmatched stability
4. final thermoplastic layer for added stability
5.Die-cut into carpet tiles.


also this has nothing to do with my carpet thread, but my gargoyle gecko laid an egg but it was infertile.

Personally even if it were safe (I don't know, but would think so) I wouldn't use it. I'd suggest going with blue shop towels (HD paper towels) or even regular PTs instead. Those Carpets are a breeding ground for bacteria unless laundered all the time in which case they begin to break down. I have never been a big fan of them myself anyway. PT rules as it is thrown away & replaced with new clean ones guarranteed to be free of urates & feces. Mark
