Zilla Bark Blend Reptile Bedding - 8 Quart

Zilla Bark Blend is a premium natural substrate designed for tropical and forest reptile habitats. Made from 100% organic fir bark, this bedding is heat treated to efficiently absorb moisture and help maintain the humidity levels that tropical species depend on for their health and comfort.

Quick Product Snapshot

Material and Design Breakdown

Fir bark is a naturally moisture-retentive material that makes it well suited for tropical reptile habitats. Zilla's heat treatment process drives out moisture-borne pests while preserving the bark's natural ability to absorb and slowly release humidity. The result is a substrate that works with your misting or humidity system to maintain consistent terrarium conditions.

Setup and Compatibility Guidance

Add Zilla Bark Blend to your terrarium to a depth of 1 to 2 inches. This substrate is best suited for tropical and forest habitat setups where elevated humidity is required. It is compatible with chameleons, frogs, snakes, skinks, and rainforest geckos. Avoid use in arid or desert setups where low humidity is needed.

Care and Maintenance

Remove animal waste and soiled bedding daily to maintain a clean habitat. Replace bedding monthly or as needed to keep the environment fresh and hygienic for your reptile.
