Hey yall!! I just want to let you know I love the Cypress as much as the next person. BUT......
I called the company who makes the Cypress from Home Depot Their "organic" blend.. Just an fyi for you and many. I talked with a rep there and she had told me they cut cedar on the same machines and there is a chance of some getting mixed in with your Cypress. That lil bit of news freaked me out. So I stopped useing it. Not saying yours is bad or to never use the stuff. But I just wanted to put that out there..
thats good to know. im only using if for one animal...my GTP. im thinking about switching to the bioactive substrate that the GTP people are using. not for any ground snakes though.
