Galápagos (05054) Cypress Tank Mulch Forest Floor Bedding, 8-Quart, Natural

It was as described. I like it. My snake likes it.

Same stuff you get in pet stores. Only different is The price.

I got this to use as bedding in a snake tank. The package was not sealed when it arrived- there was cypress shake in the shipping box. I’m very wary of introducing mites, molds, and other contaminants, but this is the first time I’ve ever washed the substrate before using it. It was not worth the trouble and I’m not doing it again. I’m going back to the bark we used before.

Would work for a 25 gal tank. Instructions are not very clear a off how many square inches would this bag size cover

Not 8 quarts. Got 2 to fill a 3 gallon bucket, and it didnt fill the bucket.

Met my expectations for what it was able to do

We use this substrate exclusively for our ball python, it stay moist , keeping the humidity at the perfect level as well as giving our snake a great bedding in which she can burrow. I highly recommend this for any snake

Was okay

I dont own a reptile. But I did buy a dormant bare root rose plant from the US branch of a breeder in England. I live in a hot climate so mulch is used to help keep the roots from getting too hot. I didnt want to spend money on a giant bag from a garden center when I only needed a small amount. This bag was perfect to add an inch or two thick layer on top of the soil in my 20x17 container. If its great for my rose, it must be great for reptiles too.
