I mix reptibark with ecoearth in my gtp cage. I like the effect and the texture the mixture has. Ecoearth can get dusty but I have never had that problem with reptibark. I don't like it for my ball though. I use Forest Floor cypress mulch for her and my brb. It is good quality and holds moisture well. I have not had splinters and my snakes have not had issues on it.

I did have some mulch from Lowes one time and I found screws, plastic, and large sharp pieces mixed in. I didn't use it.
