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).

  • Perfect Bedding For My Bearded Dragon!
Size: 8 qt (Pack of 1)
This reptile bedding has been perfect for my bearded dragon! It creates a clean, comfortable environment and holds up really well over time. One of the things I like most is how long it lasts—it doesn’t break down quickly and stays fresh much longer than other bedding I’ve tried. It’s easy to spread in the enclosure and makes cleanup simple. My bearded dragon seems very comfortable with it, and it keeps the habitat looking neat. Overall, great quality and great value. I’ll definitely keep using this bedding! 🦎 ... show more

  • Absorbs so much moisture
Size: 8 qt (Pack of 1)
I order once a week and it works perfect for my tortoise. The enclosure doesn’t even have an odor when I use this and my tortoise loves walking around in it.

  • No sharp edges, breaks down slowly
Size: 8 qt (Pack of 2)
I have loved this product since I discovered it. There's so many other commercial beddings that will have sharp chunks that can not only scratch your animal's skin, but puncture it leading to terrible infections, and possibly even organ damage or death. Why on Earth would you ever buy anything that could kill your pet!?!?! Some of them are not even composted or tumbled. This product is designed for herps. This product is safe. This product lasts for about a year or so. Lately, however, it has become ridiculously expensive, and it has been a bidding war trying to find it reasonably priced. I follow sales, compare prices, and clip (digital) coupons. I think the recent trend in keeping epiphytic designer houseplants may be part of the demand for this product: it's a great substitute for Orchid bark. Monsteras and Philodendrons need it too. ... show more

My geckos love it, good for tall cages for cushion and real forest terrain, keeps humid and over powers the geckos poop

  • Good depending on the reptile
Size: 8 qt (Pack of 1)
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.

  • Very clean with consistent sized pieces
Size: 8 qt (Pack of 1)
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
