This bedding here is $13.50 on an auction site. In the store, $15+++ ? It's for 5 qts, about the size of an 8-10 pound bag of pet food. It would take a dozen of these to equal just one bag from Lowes at $3.
Now if I was only providing for just one tank or tub I probably would never have looked for an alternative. But big snakes need big enclosures, thus a lot of substrate.
Other than coconut, I don't know what beats Cypress for humidity retention. When more humidity is needed, just spray or pour water on it. Try pouring water on Aspen and you have a huge soggy mess!
For tanks, layered Coconut with Cypress on top can't be beat for humidity control.
But I digress.......
