I didn't get any bugs in my Repti-Bark, but I just know others have posted about it, & not just this product specifically, but any similar ones that are "appealing" to the little buggers. It's not all the time, but it can happen. The bags have small air holes & then sometimes bugs find a "home".
I live and learn. Thanks for the advice! I'm convinced they came in the reptibark since I just did a deep clean and used a full bag of it for the first time. And it's causing incredibly humidity which bugs love. I'll be baking this substrate prior to use if I get it again.
