Switching bedding to orchid bark. Does this one look good?

Hi I just wanna make sure it’s small enough. I read that “fine” orchid bark is the best. Does this look good? Thanks.

That looks good. It says 100% fir bark and has no indication of any additives.

Perhaps it's a "medium grade" bark. Fine grade has a label on a bag, like this: https://www.bfgsupply.com/order-now/product/8/761727/uni-gro-4qt-orchid-bark-fine-12cs-384pl

Not sure if makes a huge difference for adult tortoises.

That's fine grade:
Mixed bark sizes ranging from 1/64" to 1/4" inches

And this is "medium grade":
Mixed bark sizes ranging from 1/8" to 3/4" inches

ZooMed Reptibark looks more like a medium grade to me (at least on photos). So, I guess, this one is fine to use.
