Cypress Mulch Blend helps regulate soil temperature, retains moisture, and stays where you put it so this could make the perfect habitat for snakes.
Mulch that is too thick provides a hiding place for snakes and there are some species of snakes that live in the ground or right at the soil surface. These snakes feed off of earthworms, slugs, snails and insects that live in the soil, so they can be left alone under the mulch.
Cypress Mulch Blend is an all-natural shredded cypress, which does not contain any added chemicals or fillers. It aids in regulating soil temperature, retaining moisture, and protecting tender plant roots from varying weather conditions. Cypress mulch is believed to be neutral, so it should not change the pH level of the soil as it decomposes. You may want to discuss this with the Master Gardener at your local county extension office, for more a more information.
