Reptibark

It's just Fir bark right?
Looking for bulk bags that are safe and clean like Reptibark. About the same size and shape too.
Does anyone know a safe brand to buy?

Try coconut husk chips, I think that's the closest thing you'd be able to find to fir bark.

And if you felt so inclined, you could even make your own if you have a readily available source of coconut husks.

I'm not a fan of coconut because of the stringy bits.

Oops hit send.

I might try calling around to some local garden centers.

The "All Living Things" brand is PetSmart's own store brand. It's nearly the exact same as Reptibark, but cheaper. After some experimenting I've found the best product for me is HAPI-GRO Cypress Mulch Blend. It's got no dyes and I've yet to see an insect in it. This product is made for landscaping, but is great as a substrate. Holds humidity well and is pleasing to the eye. You can't beat 3.48$ for 3 cubic feet. It comes in a bag that is over 30 lbs so you'll need a large plastic container 40 gal + to hold the excess. I bought my bag back in September I think and I still haven't finished using it. I do full bedding changes about every 5 weeks in a 10 and 20 gal long so this stuff lasts a while.

Here's a link to the product

Oh, I misunderstood the question. If you're looking for big bulk bags of fir bark, try looking for mulch they use to plant orchids. I know it's sold in bulk bags but I don't know where to find it. Try calling a garden store.

I'll start looking around and making some calls. Thanks everyone!

Check your local landscaping companies alot of them sell it by the yard as mulch.
