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.

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.

.....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
