nice analogy. kinda like "those who don't have a document to prove something know it is false. therefore, to those of this population, if you have experience but no documentation, you must be a liar! NO ONE can have ACTUAL experience, right? i mean, if a lab doesn't publish a paper, certainly it's not true.... why else would people be doing a test in SC to see if burmese pythons can survive the winter? obviously the info is inaccurate; the snakes will live and be fine. this isn't cruel, is it? we KNOW they can live in 20f temps because people SAY they can't!! wow!!!
kiln dried pine does contain sap that is not dry. i've experienced 2 ri's and 1 impaction from pine bedding. i haven't used it for several years, and will never use it again. 2 ri's came about in established habitats with no variable changes other than bedding (paper to pine, cosmetic reasons). the impaction was a result of the bedding, according to biopsy.
sorry, the encyclopedia britannica did not publish my experiences....![]()
