Substrate Question

carl3 Aug 02, 2008 11:14 AM

I previously used cypress mulch for bedding BUT now they don't sell it at Lowes or Home Depot anymore. It's not even sold at the mom-n-pop garden centers in my area.

Is there an alternative or some other type of mulch?

Sorry...let me clarify...it is for a savannah monitor
I use it in combination with soil and it has worked well.
