It's been washed (lower dust) and kiln dried. It is flaked down to the size of sani chips; the smaller flake provides more surface area to absorb urine and odor. A bale will last about 18 concrete tubs (6 tub rack for 3 weeks) and is about $5.99 at our local pet/vet supply (Tri-State Vet and Pet Supply in Evansville, IN).

    The rat rack is on the right of the snake racks:

    Alright awesome. I'll look into that. I'm not sure what kind of kiln dried pine my local tractor supply will have, if at all. It won't be until Christmas time when I actually make my first breeder colony. This gives me plenty of time to get everything sorted out. Regardless of what primary bedding I choose, I will definitely be purchasing the pine pellets. Those look like a really good investment.

    I really appreciate y'alls help. You guys have been more than helpful.

    Thank you,
