Can i use cypress mulch as a bedding for my bearded dragon?

Honestly i wouldnt . they are used to very dry regions (sand , rock , dry dirt) cypress mulch is a moist bedding .

and if they actually injest any of it it could cause blockage in their system .

ya i use calcium sand and (sifted,cleaned ) play sand mixture for all my dragons

I use newspaper on mine. But I wanted to change things up a bit. I've heard bad things about sand. Thats why I stay away from it.

it depends it usually happens to baby beardeds not adults
out of all the beardeds and leos ive owned i have never had a probelm with a play sand/calcium sand mixture ...


but building a habitat for beardeds sand and rock formations is the most realistic to the natural settings they are used to .. but in the end its a choice your going to have to make on what your going to use ..
