Not much. Mine is in a plastic enclosure just a bit bigger then an average tin can. They are kept at no less then 23 degrees. They hate loud noises and vibrations
Yes its repta bark. Just in a small section of the container. Its a quite a smooth bark. The guy i bought it off put it in there
Edit: i just realised you were probably talking about the large piece, i forgot that was in there. I will have a read and see what i says about it on the net
