Also, it helps if you use one of those little beach toy sand sifters to to get out the little bit of dust/dirt that it may contain.

I just throw it in the enclosure, the only mites in the bark are wood mites and are harmless to the snake.

I also just throw the rats onto the bark, never had any ingested; tho i feed DRY rats not wet ones which may cause the bark to stick more.

My corns burrow through the reptibark with no issues
