Fluker's Repta-Bark, 8 Qt

BUYERS BEWARE! This substrate gave me about 50 splinters that I had to dig out from the back of my hand. I was excited to see reptile substrate being sold in store and noticed it said "Repta-bark Forest Floor" which I mistook for the popular Repti-bark. I grabbed a bag to try out. First of all, it was so dusty after I dumped it in her enclosure that I had to back up and leave it for a few minutes. I had never used substrate before so I figured that might be normal. I misted it down and lightly brushed it with the back of my hand across the bottom of her enclosure to spread it. I replaced her items and put her inside. Then I kept feeling sharp stings and put my hand under a lamp. COVERED in tiny splinters. I had to dig some out with a needle because they were so deep and tiny that tweezers wouldn't get them. I took my snake back out and while I didnt see any splinters stuck in her, they were loose on her scales and just from handling her, SHE gave me more splinters. So I went straight and dumped it all out and had to clean the whole thing and all her items over again. I dont think I have ever left a bad review in my life but this is just ridiculous and dangerous for the pets AND humans. I like Flukers brand from all the other items I have used by them, so I'm not sure what went so wrong with their substrate.
