 WOOD CHIPS OR CYPRESS MULCH

Isn’t cypress mulch basically wood chips? Whatever you use, stay away from pine or cedar or other woods with high phenol levels. They are toxic to snakes.

I myself wouldn’t use wood chips or anything. Doesn’t hold humidity too well, and grows bacteria easy. I’d use newspaper, outdoor carpet, or reptibark. I personally use reptibark, and its great. Holds humidity well, doesn’t need cleaning much except spot cleaning, and a good soak in a bucket of hot water every month or so.

No, too lazy. lol

Just go to Google Image Search and type in whatever you’re looking for. So if you’re looking for pics of cypress mulch, type in cypress mulch and search. Should get plenty of pics.
