    Substrate Confusion?

    I was browsing through different types of substrates and came across one made by Exo Terra called jungle earth. I have never used it before and like how it looked. So the first website I saw this on, I was reading the description on the bag and it just says 100% natural substrate. I was curious if chewys would be cheaper so I looked it up over there. They have it for sale but the description on the bag is different. Instead of saying 100% natural substrate, it says 100% natural pine bark. I am assuming that both are the same material. Everything I have always read and have been told is that cedar and pine are toxic to reptiles (especially snakes), but on both bags it says it is perfect for reptiles, amphibians, etc. With everything said, I think I will just stick with cypress or coco fiber. I was just curious if you guys have any input if this stuff is safe. I included pics of the two different bags. Hopefully the pics come out clear
