Newbs make mistakes. They buy the wrong heating elements. They get the wrong cages. They purchase inferior equipment. I suppose, given all those possible mistakes just waiting for the freshonthescene herper, we should definitely remove from possibility even the slimmest of chances that one so poorly informed would purchase not only the dreaded pine shaving, but one that has not been properly dried in a kiln. Yes, we should do this .... because....ummmmmm, because they're smart enough to make all the other choices necessary to keep snakes but this one is beyond them?
That doesn't make sense to me.
How many of you have seen pine, not for horse stalls, that is still wet enough that it is obvious there was no drying?
I've got one snake, he will be 22 this year. I've kept him on a variety of beddings but 90% of his life has been on pine. I've got another who is going to be 17 in a couple of weeks. Pine. Several others in the 15 to 18 year range. All pine.
