REPTI-BARK? 
Hey, I was gonna get someone ot make me a custom built cage when Cupid is too big for 10gal (like a cage he could live in forever) and I was wondering what everyone though about rreptibark as a substrate!? I want it to look natural...it is either repti-bark or indooroutdoor green carpet wich is hardly natural....so wich ? I wanna try out repti bark...what do you think?

after cupid gets to big for a 10 gallon, an adult sized cage will be to large for him. After a 10 gallon, i would move it to a 20L if you wan’t an aquarium or an appropriate sized rubbermaid. Once cupid gets to around 3.5-4’(3.5 if male 4 if female) long then start thinking about an adult cage. As far as repti-bark i would never use the stuff because it is a rip off and has been known to harbor mites and ticks.

cypress mulch. If you live on the east coast it is SUPER cheap, but if you don’t proexotics.com gives you a good deal.

cypress is way better than bark and looks more natural. I still indoor outdoor carpet would be better expecially if you replace the entire thing each time the snake ya know...goes on it. I like carpet because that is what i would rather walk on and eventhough it is not a humans natural environment we decided it was way better than rocks and other ground so we put that in out living room. I put it in my snakes houses as well.

I havent gone to a home depot yet but in a local petstore I found cypress mulch but some of the shavings are green and the other ones are white. Can I use it? the green thing is what makes me doubt
