I gave up looking for good cork at good prices at any of the pet related sites-I have found nice clean large pieces , both flats and true rounds at either orchid supply sites, ( look up Oak Hill Gardens, in particular) or I found some fabulous , clean pieces on a taxidermy site by accident. Look up Van Dyke under taxidermy.These places sell by the pound , 5 lbs is plenty for even a large vivarium , it is good safe stuff for much cheaper than the pet-oriented places.

Sorry, but that is hard to say,maybe I can give you an idea though. When I ordered from Van Dyke , I ordered 5 lbs, it came in two peices - one about 2 1/2 feet tall and so curled on itself that it looked like a small hollow tree trunk, and a second half-round at least 18 in. long.
The taxidermy people are obviously looking for natural-looking mounts for animals & therefore will send larger chunks for the weight.
Seriously , it is your best buy .

Good Luck, let us know how it goes for you.
Whatever, you're gonna be happier than if you deal with a pet supplier.
