I would strongly suggest you read the package first. Many of these products state "Cypress Mulch" on the front of the package, and on the reverse, they state the stuff inside is a "blend". They may contain other kinds of wood, including redcedar, melaleuca, eucalyptus, Brazilian Pepper, or other woods known to be toxic to some herps. There is even one company named "Cypress Mulch Brand"; it ocassionally contains a single piece of cypress in the bag. Also keep in mind that this is a product manufactured for the gardening industry; if it is treated with colorants or other chemicals, it might not be labeled such. Because it is not manufactured for the Herp industry, chances are individual manufacturers have not tested its compatibility with reptiles.
