Is palm tree bark safe for snake because I am wanting to use this piece inside his terrarium. (It will be cleaned and disinfected beforehand).

Don't see why not, but just keep in mind this stuff can get pretty mouldy so try to keep it dry ;)

I would probably be more inclined to use a piece of cork bark... We use that in turtle aquariums when the turtles get too heavy for their floating docks... It's shaped exactly like your piece of palm bark there, just a lot more less likely to turn to sh*t on you.

Most good pet stores will have it, Amazing Amazon usually does.

Pretty expensive though, now that its no longer imported. Really annoying because its a good thing to grow most orchids on.

Been using it for years, great for turtles, easy for them to haul out on, won't damage their plastrons and provides a shelter for them to hide under too and ambush from.

No worries man, stores sell out of it pretty quick, it's like gold in the captive herp trade. Highly sought after.
