Please Help I found a snake spinoff aka The great pine debate

[Skiploder]

I have 21 snakes on pine. There are people on here ("good" people, too) who have kept snakes on pine for much longer than you or I.

What the hell do you know? From a vet tech standpoint, you are a substrate loser.

Apparently, so am I.

I would expect a complete lack of reading comprehension from someone misguided enough to use pine.

Careful. You're gonna end up being cited as a source for pine being dangerous to snakes.

I've moved on.

I use sand paper and glass. No more shedding issues.

I dare you to google it...no bad reviews so it must be good.

Well thanks to both you (200xth) and Skiploder I have had a really good laugh today! Isn't that what we all should be doing? Having a good laugh. Seriously. Thanks again!

That is easily the most terrifying picture I've seen in a long time...

Derailed threads are interesting

To all the people acting rude, I was by no means being rude. I was simply giving my opinion based on experience as well as the medical aspect. As far as poking fun at the errors in my post my ipad tends to like to autocorrect things into totally different words. Yes I said repricarpet. For people that have only one or two reptiles reptile carpet is a good substrate. It's easy to clean and reusable And some people don't like the look of paper towels or newspaper. Everyone has the right to their own opinion. I have worked with and owned reptiles for over 20 years so I am by no means a noob nor am I dumb. You may have used pine for years without problems but for most the use of pine does cause issues. Pine has a chemical in it that when wet especially can cause respritory issues and issues with irritation of the scales. The facetious comments are by no means needed. We are all hear for a common reason and that is to help people by giving them advice based on experience and education. I am sure the OP will do what they feel best and use the advice they feel is best suited for them, the snake, and their situation.
