Isn't there a "garden" alternative for "pure" cypress ?
That reptile bedding cypress is just repackaged. I wouldn't want to pay that much for basically the same stuff.
I wonder if some garden stores sell it for "garden" application. Probably a lot cheaper..
If I had giant snakes I sure wouldn't want to pay that price...esp. as "a. retentive" as I am about cleaning. It would cost me a fortune !!! And yes, Aspen is a pain..
Who knows, perhaps pine isn't such a bad thing when it comes to snakes ? If many people used these blends, some for decades without bad consequences, it cannot be that bad.
