An 8-quart brick of Coco husk costs ~$5 on Amazon. A 24 Liter bag of pine mulch costs less than that at Walmart. I've seen mixed reports on how bad pine really is for reptiles. Is it really worth it to pay so much more to buy the cypress or Coconut which I can't find locally? If the outcome is that my snake might not live quite as long then It would definitely be easier.
