[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a young box turtle hatchling that will be staying inside a terrarium over the winter, not outside with the hibernating adults, as his shell was just repaired after an unfortunate animal encounter. This bag of Thrive Cypress Mulch Bedding is stuffed with 8 dry quarts, so you definitely get a decent amount! This bedding doesn’t have much of an odor, and actually helps to keep the enclosure odor-free. I sprayed his bedding with a very small amount of water for the sole purpose of keeping the smaller pieces from getting into the shell epoxy repair. I feel comfortable knowing that my little guy isn’t being exposed to salt chemicals, parasites, and oils that can be harmful. It’s very, very important to do a daily scan of the enclosure for waste products and to remove any of found. This definitely helps the terrarium stay odor-free, clean, and a healthy environment for my turtle!

I wanted to have a mixture of textures in my hermit crab habitat. The coconut husk I added has a very strong odor that I think the crabs found bothersome. They didn’t burrow in as they usually do. Once I added this mulch bedding, they seemed much more ‘at home’ and comfortable. They burrowed into this soil mix and the odor seems neutralized. There is plenty of product in each bag which is great for when I replace the contents next month.

Bought this before they changed name. It’s the All living things cypress mulch just in diffrent packaging. Not sutible for hermit crabs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sadly I wasn’t able to try this product out due to me having a Red Ear Slider. It isn’t functional for him. This mulch is for other kinds of reptiles. It seems like great quality and petsupplycanada was very generous with the quantity. I do appreciate the opportunity and I look forward to taking part in Campaigns that suit my little friend better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t use mulch in my reptile keeping a lot because I am afraid of impaction but this worked well for a little bit. I keep one reptile in a tiled room and the other is kept on a mix of tile and handcrafted earthy structures. it worked well as flooring. if I need to in a pinch I’ll use it again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is great for multiple types of reptiles / amphibians! The chips are easy for my pet to dig around and get comfortable in since it holds in the heat and humidity, too. Another nice thing about this is that it does not create any sort of odor or mess. What I like most is that it doesnt use any harmful ingredients, either!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is great for my ball python! It holds enough humidity to ensure he has even sheds and his hydrometer shows his temps and humidity is in the correct spots.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cypress mulch is great for moisture control. It does a great job holding the temp. It also has great odor control. Good deal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stuff is top of the line. It maintains the moisture well! This doesnt overheat or dry out. My babies really enjoyed this and I would definitely purchase this. Thanks petsupplycanada for sending it to me to try.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this a good product. I own a corn snake and he seemed to like this bedding. I normally use aspen bedding because corn snakes need less humidity than ball pythons. Aspen bedding is not meant to get wet. The cypress mulch can be sprayed down to hold humidity in the tank. I put this is my snake’s tank dry since he doesn’t need the added humidity. I would reccomend this product to someone with a ball python, or frogs who need added humidity. It is about the same price as the aspen I normally buy so if this was on sale or I had a coupon I would probably repurchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all, this bedding does not have any odor to it, which is a plus. There are long and skinny pieces, as well as fine, stringy pieces of wood, which can help with ease of burrowing. The package also discloses that this does not have harmful oils, salt chemicals, or parasite.
I have a red-eared slider, so I am unable to put this baby to the test; looking forward to test out products best-suited for him in the future.

Bought it a couple weeks ago and gave my snakes mites!!!!! Only the snakes that I added this too got them. Had to throw away $400+ of substrate, hides, logs and plants. Will be treating the snakes for the mites.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this is a pretty decent bedding product in general but I do think its better suited for snakes than for leopard geckos. If I keep the bedding moist enough, he actually enjoys laying on it better than his old bedding but I have to remoisten it at least once or twice a day. (Partially because where I live is SO dry!) the tiny particles sometimes stick to him when they are starting to dry out but they come off easily when they are fully dried. Fully would recommend to any animal owner whos pet facilitates mulch bedding. 🙂

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieved the cyprus mulch in a voxbox. When I opened the bag of mulch it didn’t have a smell which is nice, others have had strong dirt smells. It was moist which is good for making sure habitats are at proper humidity levels. The dampness helps keep the environment wet verses dry. For the short time I have used it, it does seems to help with odor, I am happy with it so far. #influenster #voxbox
