I've never had a problem with mulch, but I keep mine misted for tegus and there is a pretty decent distance between the mulch and the lights.

It's been quite a few years since I've kept Savs, but I don't think mulch is the best choice for them. I think (but not positive) that washed play sand mixed with topsoil is the preferred substrate. Savs like to burrow and they come from a drier climate than tegus. Moist mulch is going to be too humid for them, and soil/sand mixed properly will hold a burrow that they can dig. I would ask the folks on that forum.
