tried aspen and i like cypress much better.
although aspen is nice for rtbs.
oh and aspen and misting system will not go well together aspen can mold easily.

well if you feel the need bake the mulch before hand, although any bug that might be in there wont be harmful to your snake. and wont survive much more than a day in the cage. i guess it depends on where you live to. as to what bugs might be in there

yea i know but it never was a catch to my eye either, only if there were trees and stuff in there it was because of the green showing up if you get what i mean .

I've tried baking and freezing, and IMO freezing works better, if only because of the risk (burned up some substrate and a pan or two...). Maybe I did it wrong, though. Freezing, especially during the winter here, works quite well. Just sit your substrate outside overnight.
