Galápagos (05024) Jurassic Fir Bark Bedding, 8-Quart, Natural

I used these for mixing up in planting soil for aroids and house plants. Very happy with the quality and price! I plan to build a large vivarium someday, will use this bark brand in it for sure!!

The only mulch I use for my roses

The picture shows the larger chunks of bark and what arrived is a finer shred of fir tree. Not what we like for the tortoises.

amazing product

Lasts a lot longer than some other brands

I used this substrate for my ball pythons enclosures. I didnt much care for how large the chips are or how little you get in a bag for the money honestly. I did like the bags that the substrate is packaged in.

I Ordered two bags of 8 quarts (2 gallons) . The picture says it all. One bag is full while other is kind of just half a bag. Am I being cheated ? You be the judge. Packaging is resealable but not sealed.

Perfect for the gecko’s cage I think it adds moisture and placed to rub making shedding easier.

I bought a few bags for use as substrate for my Russian Tortoise. First, the bag is smaller than what youd expect for 8 quarts. Second, we put the bark in the torts enclosure and we started to notice tiny white bugs crawling and hopping through the bark. A quick Google search says that its mite. Tons of them. Due to the pandemic and the pain in the @$$ of having to do a return, etc, and the fact that wed disposed of his older substrate- another Google search told us that our option was to put it in the oven for 30-40 mins at 230 degrees or lower. So.. were baking tree bark as I write this. Fun.

Very good product and great price.
