"For the price, this was a good buy. Using with various critters. Pieces are fairly large, did not see any 'dust-sized' pieces."

β€” Eve

"I’m using this like a planting pack to top dress my potted plants and it’s working pretty well. However, there are quite a few of sharp long pointy pieces which I don’t like to handle. But it seems like a decent bark. "

Bottom Line

Check out other alternatives but this may serve as a runner-up in decent options for reptile bedding, especially considering it is seem less disinfest.
