Hey Gang...Just thought I would post a note to everyone. I recently purchased a bag of Kaytee Aspen Bedding (the big bag). I have been using this bedding for years with my snakes (usually very clean, low dust, high quality and for my area the best value) without issue.

I purchased my latest bag from Petsmart a couple of days ago and opened it for the first time today. I was immediately met with a very strong chemical smell. At first I thought it was just an odd smell (like from the bag or something) but after changing 2 tubs the smell was just too strong and overpowering to be coming from anywhere other then the bedding and to be anything but some sort of chemical (I can't identify the chemical).

I stopped at this point and contacted Kaytee (waiting for a response). I will post an update once I hear back.

Has anyone had a similar issue with Kaytee or Aspen in general?
