I've just ordered a 10lt bag of pine bark. I should of done this before, but I've just been reading that when it heats it gives off a poisonou fumes. My regular bark is out of stock. I s attached a couple of pictures. It has a picture of a tortoise on it?

@cpl1307 YOU WILL KILL WHATEVER TORT YOU PUT WITH THIS SUBSTRATE
It is not safe for any amount of time even a little to get the other bark.

I'm discusted by it. It smells like purfume
This is a great example of how no one cares about your tort like you do, we of course here love torts and want to do everything possible to make all torts comfortable. You can never let anothers ideas override yours, your tort depends on it.

I just had a feeling I'd heard of this and cedar wood chippings, so I wanted a second opinion
