Cork Bark Rounds
Cork Bark Rounds come in 3 sizes, but exact lengths will vary per shipment.
Small: 4"-10" Long
Medium: 10"-12" Long
Large: 12"-20" Long
Cork Bark Rounds are versatile and essential to any naturalistic or bioactive enclosure. Made from the outer layer of cork oak trees, these hollow, tube-like structures are lightweight, durable, and naturally resistant to mold and decay, making them ideal for a wide range of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.
Their curved, tunnel-like shape provides excellent hiding spots, secure retreats, and climbing opportunities, helping animals feel safe and encouraging natural behaviors such as burrowing, basking, or ambushing prey. In bioactive setups, cork bark rounds contribute to overall enclosure health by promoting humidity regulation and offering microhabitats for beneficial microfauna like springtails or isopods. Whether used vertically for arboreal species or horizontally for terrestrial animals, cork bark rounds enhance your setup's functionality and aesthetic, creating a more enriching and natural environment where your animal can thrive.

Getting Started with Bioactive?
Creating a bioactive enclosure is an excellent way to provide your reptile or arthropod with a naturalistic, self-sustaining habitat. By mimicking natural ecosystems, bioactive setups utilize living organisms to help manage waste, support plant growth and maintain overall enclosure health. For beginners, setting up a successful bioactive enclosure starts with choosing the right substrate tailored to the species’ environmental needs.
For moisture-dependent species such as many tarantulas and invertebrates, a substrate like Terry’s Topshelf Bioactive Blend provides ideal moisture retention, structure, and microbial support through a mix of peat moss, sandy loam, composts, sand, and vermiculite. For arid-dwelling species, Terry’s Arid Arachnid Blend includes calcium-bearing clay, which helps maintain substrate integrity and supports springtail populations in otherwise dry conditions. For enclosures focused on detritivores or overall decomposition, Royal Soil offers a rich blend of organic matter, composts, and wood pulp to promote a thriving biological soil environment.
