    Yes, that is fine.

    -repti bark:
    1- is it fine for snakes?

    Too expensive for my tastes, but yes.

    2- if I can't use Eco earth as a stand alone substrate,I was thinking of mixing the two,good idea?

    I prefer to mix it with cypress, but yes that is fine.

    3- should I treat the repti bark wih Pam or bake it also? Just for safety cautions,is it necessary?

    Both treatments are fine.

    can baking these substrates effect them holding humidity? Over dry them out or something?

    Temporarily yes, long term, no.

    any advice would be appreciated. Thank You.
