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

amazing product

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.

came in extremely moldy. The bag has a reclosable strip and notches above for easy opening of the bag, however the bag was already opened and has cut marks at the top. Very disappointing, as I was going to use it in my tortoise enclosure and Im sure all that mold is not good for either my tortoise or my own lungs.

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

The pieces of fir bark are well sized and shaped providing an appealing floor texture. The company does a good job filtering out pieces of sapwood/heartwood from the pieces of bark.

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.

Good product, its very absorbant for retaining moisture

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 used this as a economical solution to orchid bark. It works beautifully and my plant love it!

Very good product and great price.
