Hi, I have been throwing around the idea of using cypress mulch for my snakes as substrate. I know that it retains a lot of moisture which adds to humidity and that it is relatively mold resistant as well as its not poisonous to the snakes. What I am wondering is, if I bought a bag of cypress mulch from say lowes, should i freeze the mulch or microwave it to kill of potential parasites or is it generally ok straight from the bag? Also, if anyone has any other good info about using cypress mulch, let me know.



1 Ball Python

1 True Red-Tail Boa

1 Brazilian Rainbow Boa (already using cypress mulch and working wonderfully)



Thanks in advance!
