Cork bark for terrariums

Virgin cork bark for vivariums consists of pieces of natural bark for furnishing enclosures for reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. Its rough texture and rustic look imitate the logs and bark of natural habitats. It is 100% natural and chemical-free, resists moisture and mould, and is light yet durable, so it is easy to place and move around in tropical or desert vivariums.

What is virgin cork bark used for in a vivarium?

• Hide and shelter where the animal can feel protected.
• Climbing and support for climbers such as geckos, chameleons and snakes; ground-dwelling species such as bearded dragons also make use of it.
• Shedding: by rubbing against its textured surface, the reptile helps itself shed.
• Decoration to recreate a natural environment.
