[QUOTE="T-Baby, post: 135494, member: 28093"] Cork bark is expensive unless you can get some second hand? I actually buy really really small pieces for my slings and it costs hardly nothing from shops as they charge by weight. An alternative I do is go foraging in the forest for wood, sticks, bark etc... I soak them in boiling hot water, scrub every part with a toothbrush and leave to dry for a week. I’ve been doing this for 10 years with every reptile I’ve had not just Tarantulas and the good part is that you get some absolutely beautiful pieces of wood when cleaned up only con is that you actually have to do it yourself but make a day of it! Take your dog with you and your children if you have any! It makes for a good day out as well as productive :) [/QUOTE]
