I kinda figure that even being a blend, it's still 90% cypress. I don't think there's enough of the other stuff in it to be a concern. I've also used Eucalyptus in the past but it doesn't hold humidity as well.

So far, 3 successful seasons of breeding on the stuff, no animals lost.

I figured a blend wouldn't have enough to really harm your snake, thanks for this! I still use coconut, but that's good to know as I've always wondered that...
3 seasons is good streak so far! But its not enough to gauge possible long term damage from exposure to toxins... but like you said, even at 90% cypress, is there enough of the others to be a problem? I don't really think so... Snakes are pretty tough!

I feel this way as well, to be honest with you. I feel like blended isn't a huge deal or anything, but the potential is there to run into a sensitive snake and IMO not worth it if there are so many "healthy" alternatives
