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

Perfect for my ball python she loved the switch from newspaper, burrowing right away.

Whats nice about this mulch is that there is very little dust and is long lasting. Previously, I used coconut nor in my torts enclosure and was extremely unhappy with the unsafe and harmful dust it created. Even when misted, the water just sat on the surface and the dust not only got into my torts eyes & nose but but throughout the house through the ventilation system. Whenever I cleaned his cage, Id spend two days sneezing dark brown powder and coughing. I am happy to say that this mulch solved all of those problems! Although it is costly, compared to the store bought ZooMed brand or other alternative bedding choices (ex: recycled paper) it is far better quality- there is next to no dust, no sharp hair thin splinters of bark stabbing you and no unwanted smells. It is easy to clean up and dries quickly when wet.

Not horrible but I got two bags of this and it didnt look like the bag in the picture. Rather than being mostly mulch my bags contained quite a bit of what looked like dirt. Id say it was about 50/50 dirt to mulch ratio. It still looked fine in my tanks and my animals seem to have no issues with it however its messy especially around the water bowls.

Works great for my snakes!

amazing for my plated lizard

This is nothing like forest floor bedding this stuff is dray and splintery... and there is much less in the package than I expected.

Does what it is suppose to...

You can get a huge bag (like 25lb or more) of this stuff at most hardware stores for about $7. This particular product was very very dusty and light. Its just mulch.

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

This came in almost like a ground up dirt, not chunky and mulch like as shown in pictures
