About this item

  • Natural product made from the ground bark of fir trees
  • Perfect substrate for all high humidity loving reptiles
  • Made in the USA


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).

My greek tortoise loves this bedding. Well, I can't say that for sure, since he doesn't talk. But if he did, he would tell everyone about how he buries himself in this bedding all day and sleeps for hours on end, like the lazy jerk he is.This is perfect arid tortoise substrate. The wood chips are in nice, smooth little bits that aren't twiggy and splintery. It's easy to pick out his food remnants and weird little turtle poops, leaving his pen fresh and clean.I also used this bedding for a pet praying mantis. When they're babies, they're the size of a staple, and easy to lose in other wood bedding types. They can't hide so easily in this stuff. When she got big enough to eat crickets, this bedding was easy to clean the cricket remnants out of, again, because the wood bits are so smooth and homogenous.This bedding isn't very dusty. It would be an excellent bedding for rats, hamsters and mice that are more prone to respiratory infections from especially dusty wood substrates, like pine. It's also pretty absorbent and doesn't have much of a wood odor, so your house won't smell like a hamster cage 24/7. (unless you like that stuff) Plus it's very nice-looking, for wood chips.Until someone or something convinces me otherwise, this will always be my bedding of choice for my small animals.

It is clean. Easy to change out. Wouldn’t use any other product. I’ve used this product for many years. I’ve had turtle 25 years.

I own 10 ball pythons. Have tried every substrate around, this is by far the best one for the best price. you don’t have to worry about pieces getting stuck on feeders and getting them getting stuck in snake’s mouth or causing a blockage in the digestive system and it holds humidity perfectly.

I've used Zoo Med products for years. This "Reptile Bark" is by far the best substrate I've found for my Ball Python. It holds moisture well yet is resistant to mold. It is very low in dust and easy to spot clean. To do a thorough clean of the substrate (if you choose to) and reuse it, can be tricky. Putting it into a 5gal bucket, then covering with screen material and a bungee. Afterwards filling with super hot water and a cap full of bleach, draining then rinsing, is how I do it.

I been using this for my tortoises for 2 years now it works great and humidity keeps well but if your at all hands on with this substrait which who isn't there are tiny tiny splinters that come of the peices that barely visible to the eye so get your tweezers .....works great tho!

I am using this substrate for my 2 tortoises (hermans and sulcata). I have used the forest floor substrate, reptichip, and other coconut substrate and this one is by far my favorite.1.) It smells good and is easy for my tortoises to walk on or dig in.2.) Its not dusty, my tortoises stay clean and when I remove it from my terrarium (to clean the tank and put a new substrate in); I'm not inhaling a ton of dust and the room around stays clean. This was the biggest problem I have had with other substrates, they're too dusty.3.) Its a great price for the product. I had to purchase 2 of the 24 quart packages to fill my ~4 foot by ~2 1/2 foot terrarium.Obviously, will be purchasing again!

Lo compré para una tortuga de tierra rusa que tengo, y dentro de una jardinera de madera metí el susrtato que la verdad con el tiempo he encontrado perfecto; Es estétido, veo que a la tortuga le gusta y fácil de limpiar.
