Made from genuine bark of \u003cem data-start=\"218\" data-end=\"237\"\u003eAcer macrophyllum\u003c\/em\u003e, these natural hardwood pieces feature a rugged, cork-like texture that adds instant depth and character to terrariums, vivariums, isopod colonies, springtail cultures, and other bioactive habitats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"438\" data-end=\"942\"\u003eEach piece is approximately \u003cstrong data-start=\"466\" data-end=\"491\"\u003e5–6 cm (2–2.4 inches)\u003c\/strong\u003e and is completely natural, with \u003cstrong data-start=\"524\" data-end=\"570\"\u003eno dyes, varnishes, or chemical treatments\u003c\/strong\u003e. Scatter the bark across the substrate to create a realistic forest floor, tuck pieces beneath plants and larger hardscape, or layer them among leaf litter, moss, seed pods, and decaying wood. Their irregular shapes help break up flat substrate and create the small crevices, shaded pockets, and textured spaces that make a bioactive enclosure look and feel more natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"xjynl3\" data-start=\"944\" data-end=\"981\"\u003ePerfect for Isopods \u0026amp; Springtails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"983\" data-end=\"1414\"\u003eBigleaf Maple Bark Pieces are particularly well suited to \u003cstrong data-start=\"1041\" data-end=\"1075\"\u003eisopod and springtail habitats\u003c\/strong\u003e. Pieces can be placed directly over the substrate or partially nestled into leaf litter to create additional surface area, sheltered spaces, and humid microclimates for cleanup crews to explore. The rough, irregular texture also gives a developing bioactive ecosystem plenty of natural surfaces for microorganisms and biofilm to colonize.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1416\" data-end=\"1763\"\u003eFor reptile and amphibian terrariums, the bark makes an excellent forest-floor accent around cork, branches, plants, moss, and botanicals. Use it to add visual detail around hides, create transitions between hardscape and substrate, or simply scatter a few pieces throughout the enclosure for a less manicured, more naturally weathered appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1765\" data-end=\"2002\"\u003eBecause this is a \u003cstrong data-start=\"1783\" data-end=\"1810\"\u003egenuine natural product\u003c\/strong\u003e, every piece is different.
