Virgin cork tubes

Plastic doesn't naturally belong in forests, so why introduce it into your terrarium? Artificial decorations can create unnecessary stress and confusion for animals—they thrive in the simplicity of nature. Natural cork tubes are the ideal choice: eco-friendly, durable, and completely safe. It’s like giving your terrarium a genuine touch of the great outdoors.



Got questions? We’ve put together clear, helpful answers just for you.

WHAT ARE CORK BARK TUBES AND HOW CAN THEY BE USED?

Cork bark tubes are natural sections of cork bark formed into hollow shapes. They are commonly used in terrariums, aquariums, and vivariums as secure hiding places for animals. In addition to shelter, they help enrich the environment and encourage natural behavior in reptiles.


Beyond animal enclosures, cork tubes also work beautifully in plant displays and natural-style décor. There’s no single right way to use them — your imagination sets the limit.

ARE CORK BARK TUBES SAFE FOR PETS?

Yes. Cork is a 100% natural, non-toxic material that poses no risk to animals. It contains no harmful chemicals and is extremely lightweight — a big plus since pets may occasionally bump into or move enclosure décor.

CAN A CORK TUBE BE CUT TO SIZE?

Absolutely. A sharp knife or a simple hand saw is all you need. Mark your cut, then carefully slice through the cork — no special tools required.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO COMBINE MULTIPLE CORK BARK TUBES?

Definitely. By arranging several tubes together, you can build larger and more dynamic structures. Place them side by side or stack them to create a network of tunnels and hiding spots. Natural cork holds its shape well — no glue or permanent mounting needed.

ARE CORK TUBES SUITABLE FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF ENCLOSURES?

Yes. In addition to aquariums and terrariums, cork tubes are widely used in:

  • Paludariums – enclosures combining land and water areas.
  • Ripariums – setups inspired by riverbanks with aquatic and marginal plants.
  • Aquaterrariums – habitats for semi-aquatic animals such as turtles.
  • Herpetariums – enclosures designed for reptiles and amphibians.
  • Insectariums – living spaces for insects.
  • Formicariums – specialized habitats for ants.
  • Serpentariums – reptile enclosures focused on snakes.
  • Orchidariums – warm, humid environments for orchids.
  • Exotariums – enclosures for exotic land, aquatic, or semi-aquatic species.

Plastic terrarium décor may look appealing at first and seem like a cost-effective option. Over time, however, it often cracks, fades, and develops sharp edges — which can be dangerous for reptiles. That usually means replacing it sooner than expected. Natural cork tells a different story. It’s an eco-friendly material that maintains its quality and blends seamlessly into your pet’s environment.


Durability alone isn’t the only factor that matters. Animal well-being is key. Reptiles rely heavily on instinct, and one of their core needs is access to a secure hiding space. Without it, stress levels rise. Cork bark tubes provide a protected, comforting retreat where animals can relax undisturbed.


And all of this without the artificial look of plastic décor. Each cork tube features its own natural texture and coloration, ensuring your enclosure looks authentic rather than manufactured. It’s a simple way to create a realistic habitat that truly supports your animals’ natural behavior.
