I use Hay for my Indian Stars which in turn, aids in keeping the humidity down.
With my Burmese I use Cypress mulch. I tried using Hay with them but noted that it made them wheeze somewhat. I can only assume that this was caused by the dust associated with this type of bedding. Cypress in itself can be rather dusty if allowed to dry out completely but as of yet I haven't had any noticeable problems with it.
Good luck!

:hi! guys? What is the best substrate for those two species? I'm using now Eucalyptus mulch for stars and Crushed oyester shell for the second one.

:Thank you
