So I just got a young Paroedura pictus, and was wondering Cypress mulch is a safe substrate to use. If not, what's better that also looks natural? I don't like the paper towel and newspaper look

Hi Josh and welcome to GU. I use cypress mulch for many of my animals. Although I've never tried it with picta, I don't know why it wouldn't be perfectly suitable for them as well. It's too big for them to ingest and it holds humidity well and it's inexpensive. I think you'd be fine using it.

I use fine grade orchid bark for my Pictas, as does the breeder I obtained them from. No issues using it so far.

Excellent, I'll put it in then, and will take a few pictures soon to show you my new addition. I'll also post a few of my leos as well.
