Fluker's Repta-Bark All Natural Bedding, 8,Quart

We use this for our tortoise. Absorbs well

I use this repti-bark for my baby Hermann’s tortoise enclosure. The size is perfect, it’s affordable, looks awesome, smells nice and it’s not messy. I actually use about 4 inches of peat moss on the bottom and then a couple inches of this bark layered on top. There’s the odd longer stick in there that I’ll pull out, but this is a great product. My tortoise was 3 months old and weighed only 24 ounces when I started using this and he had no problem getting around or burrowing down into it. I keep the humidity fairly high and spray down his enclosure twice a day with warm water and have never had a problem with mould. This is the first kind of reptile bark product I tried and there’s no reason for me to try anything else. I highly recommend it.

Bedding works great for terrariums, whether for frogs, lizards, snakes, or even rodents this bark bedding holds up well. It covers about half of the bottom of a 100 gallon tank. It smells very pleasant, does cause slivers, absorbs moisture and odor, and is a very reasonable price for the bag you’ll get. Helps snake shed their skin by providing a course surface to rub against to loosen and remove the skin. It’s reddish in color adding a little bit of atmosphere to your terrarium, sone contrast depending on the color of your snake, could also work as a hiding place again depending on the color of your amphibian. When it’s dirty just dump it scoop it from the tank and toss it in the trash, open new bag and fill the bottom with a generous layer.

I use it as an add-on to aroid soil and have seen a positive turnaround with some of my pickier indoor plants. It is also a very good top dressing that helps keep fungus gnats at bay and prevents some water-loving plants from drying out too quickly. This is much more economical than the bark that you can find at garden centers and plant stores as well. The pieces are about 1.5 cm to 2cm size, my batch was clean, without any dust or bigger sticks.

My chickens luv them. Great price for the size bag ya get.
