So far, Im quite happy with this reptile substrate. The moss is a lovely natural green coloration, and comes apart in nice, even clumps. Its non-dusty, and doesnt fall apart. The moss is very compacted, so you get more than it looks like initially. The chunks of bark look nice, and are a reasonable size. I was a little shocked to see that the moss and bark arrived seperate, rather than as a mix like the product photos imply. For me this ended up being a pro, however, as I can still mix the moss and bark together myself, but it also makes it easier to use them seperately for adding accents to my pets enclosure, such as draping moss over his corkbark hides. If this product has one flaw, I do wish the ratio of moss and bark was more even. By volume, you receive significantly more moss than you do bark. I do feel like this product is of good quality, and you receive quite a lot of substrate; Im using it to add variety to my pets existing substrate that uses coconut coir as a base, so I have more than enough, but you might need a few bags for a 20-gallon breeder tank, depending on what species youre keeping. This product is a bit on the high end price-wise for the amount of substrate you receive, but Ive certainly seen worse, and I like that this product seems to be free of dust and debris. Id likely use it again if I could get a deal on it.

This is a good quality substrate for your reptile tank. I like that the moss and the bark come separately. That way you can add it the way that you see fit.

So, I like the thought of having a one-stop purchase for a pets tank. Having both moss and bark in one bag could be handy. But the package is much smaller that Id thought, i.e I hadnt counted on how much volume they were ascribing to the moss. For comparison, I put a picture of this package compared to the old standard 24 QT bag of Zoo Med Premium Reptile Bark. That said the bark and moss seem to be of fine enough quality so I only took off one star. Still, it would be nice if they gave the rough dimensions of the bag to folks in the description.

We are using this Bark/Moss Substrate & Bedding for our Outdoor Terrarium that houses our Eastern Box Turtle. Her name is Yoshi. She actually enjoys hiding out in the mossy part in the afternoon & in the morning you will find her sunning out on the bark portion of the substrate catching some sun rays. I would say this Particular Mixture was a GREAT combination for our Turtle. I can say this Substrate/Bedding is 100% AUTHENTIC & REAL. (What you see in my photos is nothing but this Substrate of Moss & Bark) I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product!

My bearded dragon and ball Python love digging around in this stuff. You really don’t need to wet it because they walk/slither around in their water and get it wet all on their own so it creates the extra humidity they like. I think it will really help with the shedding process too.

This is a great product. We used it for Russian tortoise. There is more in the bag than was expected.

Purchased to replace bedding in my Red footed tortoise tank and he was immensely pleased with the new bedding. Burrowed right into the bedding.

I really like the substrate for my crested gecko. It’s a really nice quality and it has everything I need to make her habitat look natural. She seems to really like this substrate. This is well worth it and I will be getting it again.

Like other reviewers, I was surprised by how small the bag of DUSPRO 24 QUARTS Reptile Substrate Moss Mix Bark was. I am a regular Zoo Med Reptibark user and thought Id try this for a change of pace. While I dont have a complaint about the quality of the product, Reptibarks 24 quart bag appears to be much more generous than DUSTPROs 24 quart bag.

My juvenile dessert tortoise likes to hide when she sleeps. This material provided plenty of good fluff for her to bury herself with. This was perfect as it allowed her to quickly settle into her nightly routine and tuck herself in. However, its absorbent properties are not compatible with a reptile that pees a lot. My tortoise does. Unfortunately, it does not have a lot of absorbent capabilities, which means, if my little girl relieved herself before I had a chance to take her outside, the substrate is pretty much ruined and needs replacing. Hence the reason for the 4 stars. If your reptile does not pee much, this would be perfect as it allows them to make little hiding places.
