Yeah, sorry, probably should've elaborated more. And the typo's are because the site keeps glitching out on me, its making typing a living nightmare.

No, I don't have a true reptile vet. The only person my current vet mentioned was a specialist that's located three hours away from me. My vets office specializes in farm animals since I live out in the country, but they do have a few newer vets that have an understanding of snakes. The specialist would've been better, but seeing as I needed to get him in ASAP, I went with my current vet since they've worked with me before.

And the reason I've never tried cypress is because I've read that it tends to mold quickly. Would my BP's be better off with the cypress? Or at least with him while he's sick? I don't want to change his cage around and stress him out even more though.
