i think it may be called like repti-bark or something like that... they sell it in big bags for reptiles and tortoises and such well when i used it it really irritated my jenny she was always sneezing and it was kinda dusty and she just didn't like it.. so i finally switched substrate to cypress mulch and her sneezing had gone away so i think it may have to do with that substrate just a little warning if any of you are thinking of using it ...

I like cypress best. The repti-bark cost way to much and is the same as orchard bark.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know how this bark reacted apparently with your tortoise. I think sometimes we forget that humans aren't the only ones who can get allergies. :tort:
