You can get it fitted to your tank size, and it comes in a few different colors. It’s also fully washable. Link A few different companies make it. I wouldn’t use rubber to line your tank. Stuff, when exposed to heat, can give off fumes. A cooler substrate is slate or tile (rough kind), bought at any home improvement store and self-cut to fit the tank. The stuff is impressive, and easier to clean. If you ever have difficulties cleaning, you can also slap some paper towel in the corner that the gecko chooses to crap and replace it every so often.

Do it once a week, once every other week, or monthly (if you use a paper towel toilet spot). Sometimes, as the carpet gets older or repeatedly washed, it’ll fray a little. You can just cut the frayed or looped parts off with scissors when it happens.
