Product Description
Give your reptiles and amphibians a habitat that feels just like home with the Exo Terra Forest Bark Natural Terrarium Substrate. Specially designed for forest, tropical, and rainforest enclosures, this premium substrate is made from 100% natural Douglas fir bark that is completely sustainable and eco-friendly. Its advanced hygroscopic moisture control features allow it to readily absorb water and slowly release it back into the air, effectively stabilizing microclimate relative humidity to support healthy shedding and prevent respiratory concerns. Beyond its functional climate control, the unique tumbling process smoothens any rough edges and removes dust, ensuring a safe and clean environment for your pets. The ideal chip size and natural texture encourage instinctual digging, burrowing, and foraging behaviors while efficiently managing waste and absorbing odors. Whether you are housing tropical frogs, geckos, or snakes, this heat-treated, premium imported substrate provides the perfect blend of safety, aesthetics, and comfort for moisture-loving species.
FAQ
Q1. What species of reptile are you housing?

Ans: This 4-Quart (4.4 Liter) bag provides ample coverage for small to medium-sized terrariums when applying the recommended 1 to 2 inch layer. For larger enclosures or multiple setups, you may need additional bags to achieve the proper depth required for burrowing.
Q3. Can this bark be used for purposes other than reptile enclosures?
