Default Flooring that Keeps Heat

Does anyone know flooring that keeps heat. It is for my hedgie's cage underneath his liners. I have seen people use, definetely for leopard geckos, those sticky floor tiles. I can't think of the name for those. ahhh... *scratches head*.

Do you have any other ideas for flooring that you use for your reptiles??

EDIT: Ceramic tiles is the name I was trying to think about.

I've heard of Bearded Dragon keepers keeping their beardies on slate tiles. The non sticky ones. They just cut them to size and set them in their enclosure loose. If any section gets overly grimey, they pop 'em in the dishwasher.

I'd be worried about the adheasive with the sticky ones...

I just read the post closer and see you say for "under his liners" what type of floor does the cage have?

Its a wire C&C. I am using Cardboard right now for the flooring. The layers goes like this (starting at the way bottom): CardBoard, Heating Pad, then Liners.

I don't really care if the heat doesnt stay in the cage (seeing as it is wire) but I want a bit of footwarmth and his pee not to effect it. He has a litter box so just in case he has an accident, I don't want it to seep through and ruin the flooring.

He is in a... about 30in x 60in. The heating pad will be in once section of the cage, so it is mostly just something that won't get ruined by some how his pee seeping through his liners.

You may just want to mount a basking type of light on top, this light will heat the area on the bottom of the cage.

Or you can get an undertank heater. Like this:http://www.eastbayvivarium.com/suppl...s/heatwave.jpg
