Well easiest way to find out if it is the bedding causing the off-feed is to change it back. However wait a week with no handling and no feeding. After so many changes your snake probably won't eat either way. Don't panic over it. Snakes going off feed for a month or more is not uncommon. They can be stubborn!

Pine and Cedar are not ideal for snakes- we've established that. If it gets to the point where you're having trouble finding aspen without these then switch over to newspaper.

Everyone here has different opinions based upon their experiences. What works for one will not work for you and every snake is different. Being ticked off about the situation and scared for your BP is understandable and we all need to vent from time to time BUT getting snarly at others for simply asking why and where information is coming from isn't nice.

I for one would like to know if a study has been done on the different materials for snake bedding because then we all would know "its been proven" and we can take it as fact and change our enclosures if need be. I'll hit up some scientific journals I know of while my painting dries

Take everything with a grain of salt on here and make sure to do your own research based upon your gut instinct. If your gut is telling you to switch back then do it! Just realize your snake will be off feed for a few more weeks which is not uncommon.

Everything will be back to normal eventually *HUG* Just stay sane
