Re: Pine bedding/Corn snake
Pine and cedar have oils that can harm the snake (upper respiratory and the like). Aspen's going to be the better choice for wood bedding ;)
I would switch to paper towels or newspaper, at least until you acquire some aspen.
Re: Pine bedding/Corn snake
Yes, there are some mixed thoughts. As snoopy said, in theory, there are harmful chemicals released which have the potential to create problems, although I have never heard scientific finality on the subject.
Is the risk worth it?
Re: Pine bedding/Corn snake
When in doubt throw it out. I'd definatly change them over to paper ASAP until you can get some aspen From my reading.
Re: Pine bedding/Corn snake
So long as your pine is kiln dried you should have no problems with it.
