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 it
It very nice and it lasted like a month before I had to change it out… It’s healthy I never had any problems with my snake with it.. It’s so cheap too if I looked somewhere else it would have been so much more.. It was easy to use too!!!..

Working wonderful for what I needed it for
I didn’t buy it for reptile use I got it to use in my Orchids. I liked how the bark was small and easily worked in around the roots. I also liked that it was clean and dust free no need to rinse it before use. Made the Orchids pot setup look nicer unlike my previous Orchid barks. I believe that this will be my new go to bark for all my Orchids.

Not as good as it used to be
My bag contained a lot of green stem fibers instead of the the bark nuggets you’d expect. Maybe like 5% of the bag? There were also a few black rocks as well as a chunk of plastic. Nothing like the quality I got from a bag I bought years ago.Still usable and cheaper than a lot of other brands, just be sure to sift thoroughly before use.

Great substrate for crested geckos!
We use this as the top layer of substrate for our crested gecko’s terrarium. I don’t have any live plants in there and this sits on top of a mesh liner to separate it from the hydroballs on the very bottom of the tank. Overall, it is very easy to work with. I liked the price point and the fact that it can be reused; but for the price point, I won’t feel bad if I need to buy more versus cleaning what I have. For our 12x12x18 tall terrarium, I used about half a bag.Like I said, I don’t have any live plants, so I can’t speak as to how well it hold moisture for such an application, but my gecko has never bothered it nor seemed interested in trying to eat it. It helps hold in moisture so it keeps her tank humid, even though we only spray it once in the morning and once before bed. It has a very pleasing color and it makes her terrarium look beautiful and natural. I would highly recommend this to other crestie owners for it’s price point, durability, appearance and low maintenance.

wir benutzen das Rindenmulch für unsere Schildkröten. Die fühlen sich da sehr wohl. Wir hatten schon andere Hersteller probiert, die deutlich schlechter waren. Dort war teilweise Ungeziefer zu finden und die Qualität hat stark geschwankt. Das hier ist gute Ware. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Il miglior substrato che abbia mai acquistato.Lâavevo già provato grazie al mio allevatore di fiducia, poi ho cambiato marca ma non mi sono trovata bene.Questo substrato trattiene lâumidità , non lascia molta polvere ed è facile da pulire!Unica pecca, prezzo un poâ troppo alto e minimo dâacquisto di 3 confezioni!Inoltre la spedizione è stata come sempre impeccabile, era prevista per domani (lunedì) ma è arrivata con un giorno dâanticipo (domenica) il corriere ha anche fatto una foto del posto in cui ha lasciato il pacco!Davvero tutto ottimo!Amazon ottimo!
