Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Cypress mulch versus Aspen opinions?
I was just curious how many of you use cypress mulch for you BPs. I am currently using aspen but have been thinking on using the cypress because its cheaper and I use it with my green tree python. The only hangup I have had with changing is that the cypress seems like it is very rough and sharp compared to the aspen I use. If any of you use cypress mulch have you had any issues with it injuring your snakes? All input will be appreciated.
Thanks

Its not as dusty as the aspen, and doesn't mold as fast as the aspen does when one of your water dumping snakes dumps water on it.

That's why you change aspen if they dump water. or use ceramic dog/cat water bowls
Its easier to see messes, easier to clean up. imo anyway...

Yea, it really sucks when they like to dump it every day!!!!! The ceramic bowls that are small enough for the 16 quart tubs still get dumped by the juvies, I would go with larger bowls but then I wouldn't have room for their hides. I like aspen too, just thought about trying the cypress.

Hmm I never have a problem with water being dumped with the ones that have ceramic (which are the ones that love to dump their water)
I use a decent size bowl too. Even in my 16qt tubs. I'd have to say the circumference is about the same as a small basketball, you know like the ones you win at fairs or w/e, lol.

The hides I use are too large for water bowls that size, I use a medium sized hide that are available through Reptile Basics.

Hmm, why don't you just make your own hides? I guess its easy for me. Only one ball uses a hide.
