Some of my snakes need a humid 'hide' to shed well, or just because they like it-this natural bark bedding does the job better than others I've tried & looks great.The chunky texture makes it easier for snakes to have traction, as opposed to the "brick-types" that you dissolve in water- those are messy, sometimes grow mold & offer no traction whatsoever. When your pet defecates, it also goes down into this substrate so your pet isn't sliding thru it, unlike the smooth textured coco fiber stuff; it's easy to spot-clean. The natural color of Reptibark is also very attractive. I will buy this again.

Thankfully I use paper towel substrate for all my snakes, because I bought this for the bottom of my iguana enclosure and was in utter disgust when I saw an orange mite crawling on him. Then I noticed they were in the bark... And then I noticed they were also crawling around in the brand new bag I just opened. I had bought two bags, so opened the second one and it was also full of these mites! Thank heavens I noticed the same day and immediately removed it and unfortunately had to throw out the two brand new bags I had just bought, which were given to me from Petco in this condition. 40 bucks down the drain and it also lead to me having to proactively treat every reptile in my house for mites (not fun!)If you buy this, please beware and thoroughly inspect the bag ... MoreThankfully I use paper towel substrate for all my snakes, because I bought this for the bottom of my iguana enclosure and was in utter disgust when I saw an orange mite crawling on him.

Was delivered on time but was packaged like garbage!! Also if you’ve ever bought reptibark from like petsmart or some place similar you know the stuff is very moist. This crap was about as dry as the stuff I took out of my terrarium.

I've been purchasing Zoo Med Repti-Bark for 7 years and my Greek tortoise Fred Alton loves it. I would not change the brand, because Fred is picky and he knows what he likes. If he's happy with it then I am happy with it. Again delivery was super duper speedy. My order was delivered to my door within less then 4 days. I am very pleased. Thank you for your GREAT service and products.
I do like this. My iguana is oblivious to it, so she doesn't try to eat it. If she drops her greens barky stuff doesn't stick to it. It hides the poop really well. It is a little dusty, though.
I bought this for my lizard tank. I have purchased this item before. It's really good quality, holds up well. And is a good price. I will continue to purchase this product.
This product is by far the best because it is reusable and it is very easy to maintain also keeps humidity and moisture very good. I use this for my ball python and She loves it I hear most people saying be careful because your snake can swallow some pieces this can be true in some cases but when my snake is eating and swallows her food nothing goes inside her mouth. It’s always good to watch your snake eat and don’t take that long and if you are worried about your snake ingesting this just watch them eat their food So you can observe and keep an eye out other than that this is the best product out there on the market and it is very natural. I’ve been using this product for years And never had a problem.
using this for prepping an aroid mix. pieces are not humongous, perfect size for increasing drainage/aeration w/out going too 'chunky'. better than the standard 'orchid bark' i've used previously to make my aroid soil mixes.
I love this bark. I use it in all of my reptile tanks. I used it around the water bowls in my gecko tank and ringneck snake, garter snake and ball python tanks. It holds moisture pretty well, so adds humidity to your tank. I use it in place of the moss in my pythons tank because I don't like the strong smell of moss. This bark is washable which I love because it can reused indefinitely. I toss any really soiled bits in the compost bin and reuse the rest after a good soak and rinse. And, it smells SO good. Like a fresh forest after a rain. I wasn't expecting it to smell so wonderful. I like to feed my smaller snakes on top of the bark so the coco husk doesn't stick to their wet prey as they hate dirt covered worms etc. I get the small sized bag which lasts me a long ... MoreI love this bark.
