mulch bedding??

Hey everyone, right now we are in the process of redoing our yard. We are going to have some left over mulch. I was woundering if I could put the mulch in the snake tanks??

Depends on what kind of mulch. An if you do use it i would clean it really good.

I wouldn't use it. Most mulch has pesticides added to them as well as other chemicals.

If it is organic (pesticide-free) cypress or Eucalyptus mulch, then you could use it.

NO! These "mulches" are made from ingrediants you do not want your reptile to be housed in, whether or not it is organic.
