Cypress
This is a little bit of a newbie question, but a few months ago I put in some cypress mulch with my snake for about a week or two. Throughout this time, he would wheeze and "whistle" when I held him. When I switched to newspaper, this behavior stopped.
I'm asking because for Christmas I got him a tank instead of a tub and will need to use some sort of humidity-holding device and cypress would be perfect. Is he allergic to cypress, did I get the wrong kind, etc?
 Dude, where did Bob go?

Re: Cypress
I have humidity issues also, and have both of my animals in glass cages. I recently switched to coco soft - (coconut mulch) and it’s wonderful. Looks great, organic, odorless, absorbs urine and easy to spot clean. It’s also great for humidity because it holds water wonderfully. When I first started using it, I said ”Where have you been my whole life?”

Oh, wow! Thanks so much, I'll definitely pick up a bag next time I'm out. Thanks again!

Re: Cypress
My boa does this also on cypress. I believe it to be wood dust caught in his nose or something (suddenly unsure whether boas breathe thru 'noses')
just a theory of mine - nothing to back it up except crackpot ideas.
