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).

  • I love this substrate
Size: 8 qt (Pack of 1)
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

  • Reptile Bedding
Size: 8 qt (Pack of 2)
My geckos love it, good for tall cages for cushion and real forest terrain, keeps humid and over powers the geckos poop

  • 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
