Cork oak bark

Cork oak bark is one of the most popular natural additions to tarantula terrariums. It serves perfectly as a hiding place, a climbing surface and a decorative feature that gives the enclosure a more natural look. Thanks to its irregular texture, the spider can use it to build webs, rest or take shelter whilst moulting.

Cork is lightweight, durable and withstands high humidity well, which is why it works well in terrariums for both ground-dwelling and tree-dwelling species. It can be laid on the substrate, placed against the terrarium walls or used as a base for more elaborate set-ups. It is a safe and attractive choice for keepers who wish to create a functional, natural environment for their tarantulas.
