Cork Bark Flats
Cork Bark Flats come in 3 sizes, but exact lengths will vary per shipment:
Small: 4"-8" Long
Medium: 9"-12" Long
Large: 13"-20" Long
Cork Bark Flats are a staple hardscape element in both traditional and bioactive enclosures, valued for their versatility, durability, and natural appearance. Cut from the outer bark of cork oak trees, these flat pieces are lightweight, mold-resistant, and safe for all reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.
Cork Bark Fflats are ideal for creating natural hides, background structures, or climbing surfaces, and can be used horizontally or vertically depending on your enclosure’s design. They provide essential cover and shelter, helping animals feel secure while encouraging natural behaviors like basking, climbing, or resting. In bioactive setups, cork flats support humidity control and can serve as anchor points for epiphytic plants or moss. Their rugged texture and earthy tones blend seamlessly into naturalistic habitats, making them a functional and visually appealing choice for any enclosure.

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.
