Just switched from reptibark to cypress mulch. The skinks seem to LOVE the change so far. They seem to be able to bury themselves a little better in the cypress mulch. It seems to have a lot higher humidity though. One of the tanks is fogging up a bit. Is this bad? Will it dry out a bit over time? Here are some pics:
The fog...
