What substrate do you guys use for your breeders? I've been using Keeper's Choice (Cypress Mulch) but I'm noticing, as I look through the pictures, that not a lot of people are using that. What substrate do you guys think is best for breeders?

Surprisingly, there is not a Walmart around here! It sucks because Walmart is one of my favorite stores.-Greg

Walmart is not even in NYC and aren't allowed to put up a store here, I think it's because of some political nonsense Originally Posted by Artic Exotics
