Is this stuff 100% mite and insect free?

I have had pretty serious mite problems since I tried ReptiChip. Not pathogenic snake mites, just the little wood mites/grain mites that can infest insect cultures. There are several other reviews indicating this was not an isolated incident on my end.

Why does it bleed red and is the bleeding from red dye???? Or is it just the nature colors bleeding

Coconut shells have natural tannins, which leach when wet. It is completely harmless to your animals, and some animals (especially aquatic species) actually prefer the presence of tannins. In nature, it's called "black water" and is common especially in the Amazons and SE Asia. Coconuts, Indian almond leaf, certain woods, and several other natural sources of plant matter are the cause of this staining. If you were to soak/boil a 100% organic coconut's she'll, you would experience the same effect. It will lower the pH of water, but should not effect an terrestrial animal in any negative fashion. I hope this helps.

Is this 100% coconut because the one I got smells like fir or cypress is in it ....?

Yes, this is 100% chipped coconut husk with no added fillers.

Is reptichip good/safe for baby columbian rainbow boa's and how much of layer of substrate to put down? Is a lil over a inch good or more.

It's will work fine for a Columbian rainbow and about an inch would be be plenty. Just make sure to keep it moist.
