Which substrate for glass enclosures
Just a quick poll to see what you guys prefer for substrate in glass enclosures (aquarium style). I have been using Cypress as it seems to retain moisture well in our dry winters.
Thanks for responding!

Re: Which substrate for glass enclosures
I've only ever used Repti-bark and clumps of sphagnum moss. I like the Repti bark but have been thinking about switching to cypress mulch for a change.

I use aspen and love it. Easy to see where the snake has done its business and spot clean and nice smell to is as well

I used ReptiBark until little seedlings started sprouting out. Mine's on aspen now.

I've never seen this. Do you have a pic by chance?

I use Eco Earth to help with humidity. But I'm a newbie and just have one BP.

Repti-Bark with shredded coconut husk atm. Looking for coconut piece along the likes of Kritters-Krumble. I think Exo-Terra makes one that should be available somewhere in my area.

Re: Which substrate for glass enclosures
My balls are in a rack, so my papertowels don't count. But at the moment my boas are in glass enclosures and are on aspen.

Re: Which substrate for glass enclosures
Hapi Gro Cypress mulch from Lowe's. Intended for landscaping but great for terrariums. No bugs, no dyes, no problems. And it costs only 3.48 for a bag over 30lbs!(link included)

coco coir (aka eco earth) it is cheaper than everything I have found and holds more humidity than everything I have ever tried. It is hard to beat.
