Eco Earth bricks or Cypress mulch?

I agree about the Bloods. They are cool snakes. Sometime down the road I want to get one of those or a Boa Constrictor. Not for a while though. Still giving full attention to my girl:D

I understand the problem if you and Sauza had mold.

That has not been an issue for me .

Afterthought:

odd, Sauza likes the Aspen and had mold with Eco/coconut.

I prefer Eco/coconut and had mold with Aspen.

I reckon maybe our room humidity/temps factors into this maybe???

Strange :confusd:

I'm thinking this mold issue is more due to type of enclosure and humidy level and how much they are moisture is getting into substrate, and airflow so many different ways it can form.. Been using eco earth for long time it's not really dusty.. I've mixed Eco and cypress in my glass enclosure I've used aspen didn't work for my humidity level. Now I just use Eco earth in my pvc enclosure first day I put it in the humidity is a bit high but settles out.

edit I don't use bricks I just get loose bagged stuff with only having 2 snakes in the t8 just don't see making a whole brick for it

That makes sense MT!

Probably. I was using a Pro-Line cage and those things hold humidity crazy. I could see it working in a glass tank. The Pro-Line sits at around 60% humidity with just a water bowl in there. Now with my glass tank, I had to put a top on it and cut a 1 inch bigger circle for the CHE dome and the xtra inch for air flow to achieve the 50-60% humidity I needed. In that case I could see Eco Earth helping with humidity. Also might have been the depth people keep the Eco Earth at. I kept around 3inches deep or slightly deeper so I guess if you keep it thin, it probably wont mold as easy. I don't know but I just run about 3 inches deep of aspen and my snakes love digging little "beds" into it and relaxing. To each their own.

Also its much easier to change aspen as I change my substrate every 1-2 months anyways.

Good points Sauzo. Yeah, I have a glass enclosure.

Also, I just noticed that I spelled your name wrong earlier, so sorry!
