I use it sometimes mine loved it when I first put it in their tank.

then after awhile only a few climbed on it.

Now when I clean the tank every week i move stuff around and every few cleanings I put it in for the week. That way it's like a new toy to them when it's in and sure enough the first couple days it's in most of them climb up it.

Sounds like a good idea. Where can you get it?

SuperMom · 10-25-2004, 12:02 PM

We have a little reptile store that carries it in 12 x 12 sheets. Other than that I'm not sure but would love to where else cuz the pet stores usually cost more.

This one has a cork tunnel! Look under "wood" on the left hand side and then "cork"

Thanks Kulpa, the stuff I use is more of a pressed cork and it comes in sheets that you put on the glass of the tank

I think the black jungle site had that too...I'll have to go back and look. I think they had some listed as cork tiles.

They are listed as cork panels...is that what you have Supermom?

I really like that log looking cork. oh it's late you know what I mean.

Hermies love natural cork bark, if ya do get some try to get the non compresed type like in the link to Blackjungle that i had posted under the moss thread, also they not only like to climb on it but eat at it as well, what ya can do is make sure to wash it real well and try to bake it till dry, once ya know your hermies like it you can also spray it once in awhile with your salt water mix and they really go crazy for that..

Thanks Cuda, I am making a list of everything I need to get. hehe
