Can this be used with speckled kingsnakes? I've read mixed reviews of this being bad/containing mites and being superb

I wouldn't call me an expert. I have 2 corn snakes and Repti Bark is the brand the place recommended to me. I've had my snakes going on 3 years and have had no problems with mites. Keep in mind, I have not tried any other product. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Why is this bark arriving wet, moldy, and mushy? Is this normal?

The bag is alway damp inside but I’ve never seen it get mushy or mold. Once the bag is opened the bark dries. I’ve been using this bark for years and I’ve never had a problem.

What does it mean by 4 quarts/for 5

I guess the fifth quart is a bonus.
