My basking temps are about 95-100*F (at the highest) and the ambient cool side is 75*F. I have no idea about the mulch, sorry!

Does the mulch smell funny at all? If it is Melaleuca plant I would excercise caution in using it for the same reason you want to avoid pine/cedar.

I am not familiar with melaluca bedding but Critterguy makes an excellent point. I would be concerned of the aromatic oils it may contain.
