Reptibark?

I heard that Reptibark is the same as cypress mulch. Is this true....and....which is better for raising the humidity of the tank? Thanks.

No, Reptibark is from the bark of fir trees while cypress mulch is from shredded cypress trees. As far as holding moisture, I've never used the Reptibark but I have used the cypress mulch. It holds moisture well. As long as you remember to wet it down from time to time your humidity levels should be fine. I would imagine that reptibark, being another wood product, would work as well.
