5.0 out of 5 stars Used for a Greek Tortoise, Praying Mantis and a Hamster. Great stuff! 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Sulcata Tortoise and I Love it!!! I have a 7 month old sulcata tortoise and since the day I adopted him I have been using the mulch from the pet store. The issue with the mulch is it’s very messy, has sharp edges (which can harm my tort), and it just doesn’t look as clean. I am absolutely thrilled with this Repti Bark! It smells clean, has a bright appearance, and still absorbs moisture perfectly for maintaining humidity (which is currently staying around 90%). Give this stuff a try before you consider mulch substrate again. There is enough in the bag for at least 2 uses in a 36 inch terrarium! That’s great!2/24/15 Follow-up. I have been using repti-bark for a few weeks now. It has kept a very clean appearance and is very manageable. The only thing is…I’m afraid the pieces may be too large for my baby tortoise to walk on. He seems to trip a lot and I have also noticed some areas on his legs scales are shedding off possibly due to the size of the bark scraping on his small legs. I hope this isn’t the case because I do still love this stuff; maybe it’s just normal growth shedding that is occuring. I will be very disappointed if this bark is causing more harm than good to my little guy….I will plan to follow up in a few weeks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for my Ball Python 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reptibark Substrate For my Red Foot, she LOVES the REPTIBARK compared to “Coconut substrate”!She would swallow the coconut husk fibers. Pulling the fiber from her mouth or rear in is not at all comfortable for her and me having to do it!!
