What type of bark mulch for pet snake?
What kind of bark mulch would be best for a snake (king)? I know cedar, redwood and pine aren’t good for snakes, or anything with added chemicals. I’m looking for a cheaper alternative to the shavings you get at the pet store. Any suggestions?

coconut bark is your best bet… i use it for my tree frog.
Paper shavings would be the cheapest way to go but, if you go to a home improvement store you can purchase a huge bag of bark mulch for about the same price as you would spend on a smaller bag of pet store bark for a better value. The bark, (cypress or fir) is the same, washable and reusable from where ever you choose to buy it from.
