Where to buy pure cypress mulch?

If you use cypress mulch as substrate, where do you buy it? I have heard that some cypress mulch is blended, and may be harmful to my snakes. I want to make sure that I am getting the right kind, and would like to buy big bags at low prices. Thanks in advance.

The best seems to be Kambark.

But any 100% Double Milled Cypress should work ok

Blended is fine, don't believe everything you read out there.

this add on kingsnake has pure cypress so they say.

Thats the Kambark I posted about earlier.

They even have a herp dedicated site called SerpenTurf

But naturally its marked up.

I get mine at lowes... But watch out they have cedar in the exact same bag from the same company so if your grabbing more than one read each bag haha I almost made that mistake once

I personally do not buy from lowes or home depot. It may cost me a few extra bucks but i try to get this or a similar product because i find it to be a little cleaner and nicer.

so its ok to buy this at lowes their is no toxic problems with the cypress mulch i just want to make sure i dont get something that will harm my snakes do i need to soak it or something ive herd that it has toxins in it but not sure

.....earlier this year I checked what some of the " blended " cypress was blended with and the manufacturer listed that it was blended with cedar.

Cedar, as I am sure you know, is a no-no for reptiles.

I needed the cypress for my Borneo.
Just my .02

Hi All,
I m not use to pure cypress mulch but my friends use this and they told me that if you want to buy online then its cheaper than other and i really want to use cypress mulch..

Don't you have to bake that stuff, too?

The cypress mulch from lowes is a cypress blend! be careful! I read the small print on it and it says it is blended with 'other natural woods' but it doesn't say what else is in there, so I wouldn't use it.
