I think it is possibly the worst substrate out there. It's sticky, messy, and dries out quick. Coco husk is pretty good. Holds humidity and is less messy. I think I will give cypress mulch a go next time. I've heard it hold humidity great, looks good, and the "woody" smell overpowers any other scents. I don't know about you, but I'd take the smell of wood over urates any day. The only complaint I've heard about the mulch is that it can come infested with mites, but there is simple ways to fix this. Anyways, hope I helped and good luck!

Lol you're not kidding about snake pee. As I was typing these responses I got a hit by a bomb. I leave my BCI girls cage door open when im in the room as she likes to just hang out on the litter dam or sit with her head out of the cage hanging out. Well she took the mother of pees and being about 6ft long, her pees are like a tsunami I had to do an emergency spot clean along with chlorhexadine wipedown to kill the smell. She thought it was entertaining and came over to investigate my cleaning. This was under her RHP and she is in shed so she is a bit cranky but seemed much happier with the pee all cleaned up and her able to sit back under her RHP.
