Zoo Med Repti Bark is a premium, all-natural substrate made from ground fir tree bark designed specifically for high-humidity reptile terrariums. Its hygroscopic properties absorb and release moisture to maintain ideal humidity, while its thermal conductivity ensures even heat distribution. Repti Bark supports natural digging behaviors, absorbs waste to keep enclosures clean, and can be reused for up to one year with simple maintenance, making it a sustainable and trusted choice for reptile enthusiasts.

## 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).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can it be used for hissingcockroaches**
A: Yes 🙌

**Q: Can this be used with speckled kingsnakes?  I've read mixed reviews of this being bad/containing mites and being superb**
A: I wouldn't call me an expert.  I have 2 corn snakes and Repti Bark is the brand the place recommended to me.  I've had my snakes going on 3 years and have had no problems with mites.  Keep in mind, I have not tried any other product.  Sorry I couldn't be more help.

**Q: Why is this bark arriving wet, moldy, and mushy? Is this normal?**
A: The bag is alway damp inside but I’ve never seen it get mushy or mold.  Once the bag is opened  the bark dries.  I’ve been using this bark for years and I’ve never had a problem.

**Q: What does it mean by 4 quarts/for 5**
A: I guess the fifth quart is a bonus.

This is the MOST trusted brand and perfect for any enclosure! Purchased many times!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great substrate for crested geckos!
*by C***A on November 15, 2015*

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.
