Description

All Natural. Made from the bark of fir trees. Hygroscopic. This means it absorbs moisture and then releases it, creating humidity. The perfect substrate for humidity loving reptiles. Conducts and evenly distributes heat. Adds environmental stimulus. Allows natural digging and burrowing activity. Absorbent. Pulls icky waste away from your animal. Decorative. Provides your terrarium with that natural tropical rainforest look. Re-usable and super easy to maintain. All you have to do is soak in hot water every 2 to 3 months for fresh, clean bark. (ReptiBark should be replaced at least once a year). Smaller chips provide better moisture retention (increased surface area). Prevents live food from hanging out in your substrate (small pieces interlock).

  • Turtle cage
Size: 8 qt
Works great for the turtle’s habitat!

  • Box turtle bedding
Size: 8 qt
Great for box turtles! Thick enough that they don't swallow the wood when eating.

  • Very clean with consistent sized pieces
Size: 8 qt
To be clear, I do not have a lizard or any reptile. I do grow plants. Ordered this to see if it would work as a lower cost source of what the bonsai stores call "fir fines" and charge a fortune for. While these pieces are larger then bonsai ones, this wood looks and smells clean and is pretty much dust free. Zero signs of any type of insects or other contaminations. I'm not using it for bonsai, but the size is working well for my more tropical plants in pots 4" and up. Will likely order again. ... show more

  • I love this substrate
Size: 8 qt
Works really well for my reptile tank. It keeps moisture nicely, so the humidity stays where I need it, and my reptile seems to like digging around in it. The bark is just the right size—not too big or dusty—so cleaning up is easy too. Overall, it’s a solid, natural bedding choice for keeping the habitat comfortable and moist. ... show more

  • Good depending on the reptile
Size: 8 qt
I tried this for my snakes and it did not work out well it held the moisture great and kept the humidity up just was a little rough for the snakes. Totally my fault but a great product.

My tortoise seems to be good with it. Very affordable on here compared to my pet store

  • Great!
Size: 8 qt
Second time purchasing this item and will definitely buy again. Love it. I use it as an additional layer on top of coconut fiber substrate and aspen bedding for two 50 gallon tanks for my ball pythons. This bag is the perfect amount to split between the two for a variety in their enclosures. It smells great and lasts a long time. And they love it to dig through all their layers and rearrange & make hills. I also love how affordable it is compared to local pet stores. ... show more
