Product details
Description
Zoo Med Reptile Bark Fir Bedding provides an authentic, natural environment for your humidity-loving reptiles. Made entirely from the premium bark of fir trees, this hygroscopic substrate efficiently absorbs moisture and slowly releases it to maintain optimal humidity levels within your terrarium. It is ideal for tropical reptiles, such as green iguanas and various amphibians, that thrive in damp conditions.
The smaller bark chips are specially optimized to increase surface area for superior moisture retention while interlocking to prevent live feeding insects from hiding underneath the bedding. Beyond humidity control, this natural substrate effectively conducts and evenly distributes heat from under-tank heaters, ensuring a comfortable habitat. It stimulates natural instincts by allowing reptiles to engage in digging and burrowing activities.
Highly absorbent, it pulls waste away from your pets to maintain a cleaner enclosure. This reusable bedding is exceptionally easy to maintain; simply soak it in hot water every two to three months to refresh the bark, and replace it completely once a year. It gives your terrarium a decorative, lush tropical rainforest aesthetic.
How to use
- Spread the bedding evenly across the bottom of the terrarium to the desired depth, typically one to two inches depending on your reptile's burrowing habits.
- To maintain freshness, soak the bark chips in hot water every two to three months to clean them.
- Allow to dry before returning to the enclosure.
- Replace the entire substrate at least once a year.
