YAY got my new Suriname BCC!!!! :D :D

thanks Vinny, I would love to use Cypress mulch, but its R230 a bag.

Aspen bedding is R38 a bag and corn cob is R49 a bag.

if I had to kit all my cages out with Cypress mulch, it would cost me well over R1000, which is more than what a BCI goes for here and for R2000 more I can get a suriname boa, soI just cant see myself spending more on my substrate than what a boa goes for

I asked why the stuff is so expensive and the answer I got was "Because its imported" now correct me if I am wrong, all it is is Wood shavings, I mean I have seen the bag I can see its wood shavings, so how is a wood shaving so expensive and why on earth does it even need to be imported!!! we have more than enough trees here in south africa thanks!!

but anyway I just kitted my surinames cage out with aspen bedding, so far I am not impressed, its so messy its not even funny, and it had allot of fine dust in the bag which I had to use a siv to filter out before I put it in the cage.

maybe normal sawdust for things like hamsters will do the trick?

That is crazy dude.. WOW i can not believe those prices just for Cypress substrate.. I pay like $15 for enough to last over a year, and it's a name brand substrate..

[sachak]

yup these pet shops in SA think they clever with there rediculous prices for frikken wood shavings lol, ill goto a carpenter and ask him to give me 10kg of the stuff, he will more than likely give it to me for free and be thankful that I am saving him the trouble of taking the stuff to a rubbish dump.

[Vinny]

That should work.. Goodluck buddy
