    Which substrate for glass enclosures
    Just a quick poll to see what you guys prefer for substrate in glass enclosures (aquarium style). I have been using Cypress as it seems to retain moisture well in our dry winters.

    Thanks for responding!

    I've only ever used Repti-bark and clumps of sphagnum moss. I like the Repti bark but have been thinking about switching to cypress mulch for a change.

    I use aspen and love it. Easy to see where the snake has done its business and spot clean and nice smell to is as well :D

    I used ReptiBark until little seedlings started sprouting out. Mine's on aspen now.

    I've never seen this. Do you have a pic by chance?

    I use Eco Earth to help with humidity. But I'm a newbie and just have one BP.

    Repti-Bark with shredded coconut husk atm. Looking for coconut piece along the likes of Kritters-Krumble. I think Exo-Terra makes one that should be available somewhere in my area.

    My balls are in a rack, so my papertowels don't count. But at the moment my boas are in glass enclosures and are on aspen.

    Hapi Gro Cypress mulch from Lowe's. Intended for landscaping but great for terrariums. No bugs, no dyes, no problems. And it costs only 3.48 for a bag over 30lbs!(link included)

    coco coir (aka eco earth) it is cheaper than everything I have found and holds more humidity than everything I have ever tried. It is hard to beat.
