Hey I'm live near Salem in Oregon, I've heard of cypress mulch, that it's great for humidity, and bps love it. I have been looking for it and can't seem to find it any where, i checked lowes, home depot, and about 10 other garden center areas. The only thing that I can find like it is hemlock mulch. I didn't get it because I thought it might be bad for my snakes. Does anyone know if it is or isn't? Right now I keep them on the compressed coconut fiber, like the bed of beast or eco earth stuff. This stuff holds humidity well at first but once it dries out it's like impossible to keep the humidity at 50% for long then 10 hours. I plan on expanding my collection and I'm beginning to realize if i ever want to go some where overnight I need a substrate that holds better humidity. So does anyone know where I can find cypress mulch in the salem/corvallis area, or have any tips? Maybe another substrate I can buy in bulk at a cheap price that is also great at holding humidity? Thanks in advance
