Can anyone recommend a good site to order several slabs of cork bark? I paid 20 dollars for a slab of it in a pet store and I won't be doing it again. It's highway robbery, and I know there has to be a good place to get it cheap. Anyone have any experience with this?

Sux to say it, but if there's a reptile expo coming near u, its ur best bet. The one I just went to had cork bark sheets, tubes and pieces of all sizes. I got a few tubes, 12" long for $4 each

Man, if I'd have known it's that expensive, I'd have bought 50 pounds of it at the expo, lol.
The most expensive piece I seen there was $20, and it must've been 3' x 1', and tubes over 4' long and 7" round for $15

Broken record, but I use cork bark tubes for the arboreal t hides, as they look so natural, and I got great pieces at the expo. I split it in 1/2 so it uses the inside, against the glass to web away

Looks like I have to buy mine from the pet store which runs at about 20+ also, all I need is 1 **** round and online is about 16.99 most places I've looked but because I'm in Canada I have to pay shipping yet.. so really I would just be paying about the same amount..
