Eco earth yes or no?

Hey all

My current substrate mix is cocohusk chunk bricks with cypress mulch.

But I'm open to other alternatives. I've asked various people and heard a wide ranging opinions on it. I have heard many say it's dusty when dry, clog up the pits, might mold. It's just more confusing then when I started asking people. Some say great others say no very bad for BPs or boa.

Would a eco earth mixed with coco husk chunks work?

I'm looking for substrate to keep the humidity up in a BP (50-60), BCI (55-65) and a SD retic (55-65). Living in Canada humidity drops fast in the winter time my house being 30-40%, I haven't gone through a summer (40-60) with the cages in the basement of the house, they were upstairs last year and was okay.

I'm aware of the environmental impact of cypress. I've had mold issues with just coco husk.
