Re: One more substrate question.
Wet packed as in soaking wet, far too wet to want to put under any snake in my opinion. I've had lower grade cypress so wet it took either days of sun drying or I had to bake it to dry it out enough for use. As far as the slivers, I don't like any substrate in an enclosure so sharp I've had to pick it out of my own skin.
Re: One more substrate question.
I originally had 100% aspen in my tank, and then switched over to cypress mulch to raise my humidity. When I got it from Home Depot it was already frozen solid, so I actually had to let it sit for awhile to thaw out. There are some larger pieces and a few sharp ones, but if you pick a hand full of the bad ones out and then pack the rest of the bedding down so that its a little smoother and has no sharp edges sticking up then it is fine. I haven't had it long enough to deal with cleaning it though, so we will see if my opinion changes after that.
Re: One more substrate question.
so far i'm still loving the eco-earth substrate. looks good, retains humidity, easy spot cleaning.
Re: One more substrate question.
I voted Aspen solely on my tank is definitely a display tank and so far the aspen is working great for me. I also put beaked moss in there and mist it down good in a few key locations once a day.
Re: One more substrate question.
Tried some of the substrates, but even in our 4 unit display rack we went with blank newsprint paper. we were very surprised at all the stuff we were probably missing the clean up on by using anything but the paper.
Re: One more substrate question.
I LOVE cypress mulch. We are currently using triple milled and it is awesome!
Re: One more substrate question.
I use reptibark myself. I think it holds the humidity well and it looks nice.
Re: One more substrate question.
i use both aspen and reptibark.in my opinion reptibark looks better and has a wonderful smell fresh or when misted.i use aspen for the snakes that like to burrow

Where in heck did you find triple milled cypress and how is it cost wise compared to other bedding material?
Re: One more substrate question.
The bedding I think looks best in displays is the T-rex Desert Snow.
