Whether you're new to reptile care and fishkeeping or are an experienced breeder, Zoo Med covers it all.

An Exotic Diet for an Exotic Pet

When it comes to your pet's dinner, the menu consists of worms, crickets and snails galore. Zoo Med offers a wide range of nutritious and tasty food to feed every exotic pet a special diet that's made just for them.

TURTLES AND TORTOISES: From treats to whole diets, Zoo Med provides a nutritional boost to fit any turtle or tortoise want or need.

FISH: Your tropical fish enjoys a treat every now and then, and Zoo Med offers a tasty variety to choose from.

FROGS: Including high-protein, sinking pellets that mimic what frogs would eat in the wild, this frog food is just what you need to keep your amphibian jumping.

Give Him an Extra Boost

Because any pet could benefit from a little extra care, Zoo Med makes supplements that will help fortify your exotic pet's health and environment. Feeding him a supplement, in addition to his healthful meal, can be the extra step that it takes to keep your frog, lizard, turtle or fish happy and healthy.

Rest, Relax and Thrive

Every exotic pet needs a place to call their own, and Zoo Med makes it easy to keep them comfortable and thriving.

LIGHTING

Mimic the true feel of a tropical or desert climate with lighting that gives reptiles the warmth of a natural habitat. The selection includes long-lasting bulbs that require minimal maintenance and infrared lights that won't disturb sleep patterns.

Questions & Answers

23 Customer Questions


For how long do we boil it to reuse it?
Answer by ChewyAug 19, 2020
To clean, remove this substrate and soak in a bucket of hot water with an added 5% solution of Zoo Med's Wipe Out 2. After 15 minutes, pour the water out and fill the bucket again with water only. Swish bark in bucket with your hand to rinse and dump the water out. Allow the bark to partially dry out (about 85% dry) leaving only a small amount of moisture and return to the terrarium.

How is it “ reusable”?
Answer by ChewyApr 23, 2018
This bedding can be reused after washing it. Simply soak in hot water ever 2-3 months for fresh and clean bark

Is repti bark treated for pesticides, bugs, and stuff of that nature?
Answer by ChewySep 23, 2021
The Repti Bark is not heat treated and it has not been treated for pests. Zoo Med does not use chemicals on any of their substrates.

Is the quality and size of pieces suitable for use in a soil-less potting mix for houseplants?
Answer by ChewyJul 20, 2021
Usage may vary depending on the plant(s). It can be used with planted enclosures but the manufacturer recommends using the Eco earth or Reptisoil under it where they are putting the plants. Please click on the attached photo for a visual reference of the bedding size.

Works Well

This worked very well for my desert tortoises! No dust, spreads evenly and has worked well to control odors as well. Will buy again!

Great for Ball Pythons!

This bark is great for my ball python! The pieces are big enough that there is not a worry of ingestion. It is easy to spot clean. And most of all, it helps to retain moisture & humidity without staying soaked or quickly drying up. Plus it's a beautiful color!

We love it- they love it

Our hognoses seem to be a lot happier on the bark. In our super arid desert environment this allows us to give them a little humidity which helps with shedding and just makes them more comfortable!
