Zilla Pet Reptile Terrarium Substrate Bedding, Bark Blend, for Chameleons, Frogs, Snakes, Skinks and Rainforest Geckos, 8 Quart

Does the job- I recently switched my turtle(s) substrate. It does the job, however it’s not preferable compared to other brand I have tried Would have to buy again if I had to

It was fine. Good product but not what I was looking for but that was my fault.

I purchased this because my local pet store was out of Repti-bark. Made of the same stuff, looked the same....cheaper. I soon found out why. Dust. This substrate is very dusty with a lot of fine particles. I spent almost 5 hours rinsing this stuff one spaghetti strainer at a time. My ball python likes to dig and rearrange her enclosure, so removing as much dust as possible is very important to me. If you feed your scaled friend in its enclosure, Id steer clear. If you have the choice, go with Repti-Bark.

shipped quick! good quality bark for our snakes!

My snake seems to love this bedding, and it is a lot nicer to deal with than the shavings. It looks nice and smells nice

great for most reptiles, will fill about a 55 gal tank or aquarium. I use it with my snakes and lizerds

I was completely floored at the size of the bag. (Yes, I know, I know, my fault completely for assuming it was at least in the neighborhood of being a reasonable amount...) Summing it up, Ive bought shoes that came in shoeboxes bigger than the box this bag arrived in. It was pointless to even bother putting it in my 50 gallon reptile habitat: it wouldnt have even made one flat layer across the bottom surface. I ended up just dumping it into a couple of potted plants outside to hold the moisture in the soil. This made me even more angry because I needed to tend to my reptiles livlihood....I wasnt planning on settling for mild gardening that day. My GOOD NEWS? I just got back from Home Depot with a 57 liter bag. (The size of a super- bulk size bag of dog food intended for Great Danes. (HUGE!) I spoke at length with the Supervisor in H.Depot gardening. It is the SAME EXACT STUFF. Not chemically treated whatsoever. Heated to kill any critters, microscopic to creepy-crawly sized. And the bark chips are the exact same size as this Zilla stuff. My Home Depot price, including tax? $5.10. I will NEVER AGAIN buy BARK from pet stores or online pet supply vendors, paying them 200% more than the exact BARK sold at garden and nursery retailers!

I bought these to use on top of soil in houseplants and its working well!

Put in a box turtle cage after doing research and all the pet stores use this in their reptile cages. We tried dirt, but it just molded. I bought some moss at dollar store to go with and he loves burying himself in the moss. All in all much happier turtle.

they rot so easly! never buy this item
