Re: A question about mulch/wood chips

I use aspen for my corn and never have any issues. I also have mixed aspen in with my cypress for my bp and boa with no issues. I check on them daily and have yet to see any mold.

Re: A question about mulch/wood chips

I like to mix my substrate but haven't quite found the perfect blend. The last time I did a 100% replacement I tried a 100% cypress multch from a garden store that was recomended to me. It is 1/10 the cost of Reptibark and realy holds moisture well. I used it out of the bag no mixing. Great stuff but a little chunky for smaller snakes. My adult boas like it but my king isn't tunneling near as much as with some o the blends I have made and my little gopher the same. So tonight I plan to make a couple blends using cypress and coco husk the some of that with eco earth. I will post about it later in the enclosure section.
