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

[Stewart_Reptiles]

Help me out with that - what is the opposite of good? Wanna wager on how may people on here you just slapped in the face? A couple of Moderators? Moderatrixes? A couple of keepers and big breeders with decades of experience....?

ReptiCarpet.......

I like the sound of this

And yes Pine is fine but what do I know, I am not part of the great ones

Anyway now back to your regular programming with your own Spin off

My cornsnake thrive in pine, but my bp's are on paper... Mostly due to them (corns) being on display, since their needs aren't as delicate.

People often use pine because it is cheaper than the alternatives. I would rather spend more on something else. I am the type that would rather pay more than take a risk.

Hey, next time you're at the right hand of the guy who's supposed to be upstairs, tell him the hubris is a bit cloying, whouldja?

I have seen the problems first hand. So I am in no way "ASSuming". I have seen rabbits, rats, and other small animals come in with red bumps and half thir fur missing because of scratching so much from the pine. I have also seen snakes of many species come in with scales rubbed off their body because they had dumped their bowl of water onto the pine causing it to make the irritation so bad they rubbed against their hides and such so hard they actually rubbed scales off. Assuming would mean I was guessing and had no knowledge or experience. Because I am educated and have the knowledge and experience I would be giving an educated opinion not an assumption.

Bullsnot. I think you have Pinocchio envy.

This thread was definitely hijacked...and I just read through it stupidly.....but glad something was figures out for the snake.....sorry to the OP for the nonsense.

Sorry that you read stupidly....your words, not mine.

I can go monosyllabic on future posts if it makes you read less stupidly. However you decide, I'll be glad to oblige.

Oh and we apologize for the bickering. Usually most people have more common sense than that.

Who's we?

Did you finally name your right hand?

Or is this the "royal" we?

[AllThatInThemGenes]

Some salty people! Reading through this post was a waste of time but in all honesty that was my goal in the middle of the work day. I don't want to be part of the problem...(using the site for reasons it was not intended for)...but I can't lie

Brian Barczyk apparently recommends pine on his Twitter feed. For ball pythons no less! Did you ask me the BHB question because you had knowledge or were you making an ASSUmption?

Want me to ask some of the other "greats"?

Want me to ask if they've seen any scales rubbed off on hides because of pine?

Say "Reptile Carpet" for me.....one more time.

Tell me how good it is......

That was kind of funny.

The "royal" we, man!!!

Careful, there's a beverage here!!!

On a serious note, I thought coconut substrate wasn't ideal for BPs because it gets trapped in their labial pits??

Hehe... labia...

[Slim]

ANYONE who doesn't keep their BP's exclusively on indented kraft paper should be investigated for animal cruelty... Then all their snakes should be sent to me (at previous owners expense) for proper husbandry.
