    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 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
