Hi Tom, I've been googling this bark, then clicked on this. It's you, so I want to get the Uni grow one. I've checked a few places, I can't seem to find this brand. I'll keep looking! I can't wait to get this in Myakoda's enclosure. Like now! :)
I use that over bulk cypress mulch to save money. Petsmart sells it Online for 15.30 or so just gotta watch.
Thank you.

If possible. Can someone share some photos of how to or how you used "orchard bark" in your indoor or outdoor enclosure?

Thank you. And may I know what species of the Tortoise are in here? And how old?
I raised my Hatchling Redfoot in this enclosure for the first year.

Here's an enclosure with newly hatched Burmese stars. I use Orchid Bark (fir bark) for all the tortoises. I raise baby sulcatas up to about 6" on it. Adult spider tortoise. Adult Burmese Stars in winter. Galap it's first year. etc, etc.

I love this enclosure. I need a better one. My baby is in a terrarium, that's open on top. I'm so glad I found The Tortoise forum. I have read so much misinformation before here. We're getting the animal plastic enclosure, however, it takes to long. :( We actually found Myakoda, in the road. She was a hatchling, and is now 6 month old. I want to do the best for her. Until we get a better one, we do all we can do keep her humidity levels up. Also, changed her substrate from reptibark, to Orchid bark. Tom and OPO have been a huge help, as well as others on here.
