I personally love the stuff. I think it looks better then aspen and is better at holding humidity. Aspen makes my snake room look like I have a bunch of hampsters or some kind of rodent running around and I don't like that lol. Aspen does work good too, thats what I used prior, but cypress is cheaper in bulk and better looking so I changed. Good Luck!

PS I get mine at home depot and lowes for like 3.50-5.00 a bag. Stuff is cheap, YAY!!
Is treating it for mites necessary? And do you use? I used aspen before and it was so messy because its so fine get everywere. Right now Im using newspaper and I hate changing it when they spill there water sometimes like everyday or 2 times a day in breeding.

Thanks for the replys
