: Does anyone know if the bark of the Cajeput Tree (malanleuca quinqunervia) is safe for torts? I don't think they would try to eat it but I just want to be sure and not put anything toxic in their enclosure. The bark it really thick, cork-sponge-like and twisted and beautiful. It comes off the tree in big sheets. They would have a great time hiding under it and climbing over it. I just want them safe. What do you think? Zab

Here's some information on it, it can be an irritant to sensitive people, it seems:
