Re: Can i use cypress mulch
Honestly i wouldnt . they are used to very dry regions (sand , rock , dry dirt) cypress mulch is a moist bedding .
and if they actually injest any of it it could cause blockage in their system .
I love it when people tell me, "You should think before you speak!" I'm like, "I did. It's what I think and I really don't give a crap what other people think."

Re: Can i use cypress mulch
I use newspaper on mine. But I wanted to change things up a bit. I've heard bad things about sand. Thats why I stay away from it.

it depends it usually happens to baby beardeds not adults
out of all the beardeds and leos ive owned i have never had a probelm with a play sand/calcium sand mixture ...
but building a habitat for beardeds sand and rock formations is the most realistic to the natural settings they are used to .. but in the end its a choice your going to have to make on what your going to use ..
