For ny plants
Size: 8 qt
I live buying this stuff as a soil amendment for my plants. I have a lot of tropical plants and love using this stuff instead of orchid bark at times. The plants seem to love it at well. I have bought this stuff several times. I was buying it at a pet store but the cost to drive to there and back doesn't justify just going for that so finding it here is much easier and cheaper. ... show more

Great substrate mix in for humidity loving reptiles!

Great substrate for my tortoises!
This is a great substrate for a wide variety of reptiles. Currently, I am using it with a baby sulcata and a 4-year-old red foot tortoise. I give the bark a good soak the night before I use it and it retains moisture very well. When it starts to dry out a bit, I add a bit of water and spray the top to keep it nice and moist. It is really easy to clean up as well and the pieces are big enough that I haven't had any issues with the reptiles eating the bark. I have also used this with a frilled dragon and a blue tegu with great success. ... show more

Great price.. even better when you subscribe
Size: 8 qt
I buy this product very often for my crested gecko. It is a great substrate for any type of reptile. It seems to keep the smell of the reptile to a minimum and I would definitely recommend subscribing because you get it cheaper.

Quite disappointed
Very disappointed. We've been using ZooMed Repti-Bark for years, but we saw that this Exo-Terra product was on sale so we gave it a try. It's basically wood chips. Both bags have lots of sharp sticks, twigs, branches, leaves and tons of dust. The advertising says "100% Fir Bark". ****!!!!! Hey Exo-Terra - leaves and sticks don't qualify as bark, since you folks somehow don't already know. This garden mulch looks nothing like the photos either. It took over an hour to do one bag, but I had to use a pasta strainer to get the dust out, and even now I don't want to use it because of the amount of sharp sticks. I got 2 splinters while filtering the dust out from simply grabbing a handful to put in the strainer. And I'm supposed to put my animals in this? No. I'll stick to the Zoo-Med Repti-Bark. Which has never, not even once had leaves and sharp sticks in it, and we've been using it since 2011. Do yourselves and your animals a favor and spend the same amount of money on the Zoo-Med or even Chewey's version called "Frisco Fir Bark Reptile Bedding", which looks identical to Zoo-Med from the photos. ... show more
