BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

I know the caresheet goes over substrate, but I wanted to be a little more specific and see what you people actually use.

I went to Lowe's today and found some nice mulch-stuff that I was told had ABSOLUTELY NO chemicals in it, for a really cheap price. Petco sells some decent bedding, but it is like 15$ for a third of the amount.
So, what specifically do you guys use for your burrowing blue tongues?

Shaved aspen

Cypress mulch from lowes

If its not too much trouble, mind giving me a picture of the bag, or linking me to it online? I'd like to know which one to grab.

Unfortunately mulch is a commodity item thus each store will vary on brand, bag size, and price. I have 2 stores both 20 miles away from me in different directions. Both have different brands, bad size, and price. I just get the stuff called cypress mulch.
Here are the ones we carry. To show what I mean, the store I buy from carries 2 brands yet the store sees it as one (item# is the same for both brands)

My store actually has that 2nd one.
You've never had any impaction issues? Or it being stuck in their eyes/nose?

i use wood chips, and ill switch over to cork bark soon (just used up my last wood chip bag)

I use Forest Floor bedding which is just cypress mulch. BTS are pretty good at spitting the substrate out if they eat it accidentally.

No issues with using it.

I use cypress mulch, and if my skink ever somehow does get a piece of bark in his mouth, he uses his tongue to push it out.

I also use cypress mulch. So far no problems and my northern likes to dig tunnels through it.
