Virgin cork bark is an outstanding addition to a reptile, amphibian or invertebrate enclosure. We sell a 12"x15" bag of cork bark pieces that can be used for making vivarium or terrarium backgrounds or hideouts, or for use in bioactive terrariums.
All cork bark pieces vary in size from 2"-12" in length and 2"-3" in width.
Virgin cork is the bark that comes from the cork tree the first time it is taken from the tree when it is 30 years old. It is light weight, rot resistant, non-toxic, soft and buoyant. Virgin cork is an environmentally and ecologically friendly renewable product.
Virgin cork can be used for terrariums and reptile habitats; zoos around the world use virgin cork bark to create safe habitats.
Cleaning tip: We recommend sterilizing all cork bark (even when heat treated) before use. Simply wash the cork bark piece under running water to remove debris, then, while it is still wet, bake at 300°F for 30 to 45 minutes.
