If I went to my local home depot - and bought a bag of cypress mulch - what should I look for?

Don't a lot of mulches have fertilizer in them?

is there anything you have to do with the mulch when buying it from home depot? like de-parasite it or anything?

I dont do anything to it. If you were worried about wood mites (not harmful to your Tegu), then you could spray it down with Ammonium chloride and let it sit for a day before using it.
