If you bake the cypress mulch @ 225 for about 20 mins you shouldnt have any Mites and it holds Humidity well |

My boaphile holds humidity extremely well and I live in a DRY state. I have even considered drilling some extra ventilation holes in it since it holds humidity too well. I have one big water dish on the cool side and newspaper substrate and no humidity problems.

I'll definately take the Suriname Female if you're certain you don't want them anymore. I'll pay shipping as well. That being said, you sound kind of panicked and I think you should calm down before making this deciscion. It's an easy fix for the problem you have. That being said I have a Surinam male already.

I think you should calm down first, and most certainly think about if you really want to give them up. We can help you solve this problem.

kind of makes me scared, no one would just give their snake away like this without other problems, IBD and other's fall into mind, otherwise i would take the BP, if it's had a checkup recently and no parasites i'd be more than happy to take the BP, pics of my RTB is in my user gallery |
