From a vet tech stand point pine and cedar both are bad for almost all animals.

Pine and cedar have oils in them that are harmful. They can cause respiratory issues, skin and scale issues, and worse. I have snakes come in with damaged ventral scales do to the pine bedding their owner was using. After switching from the pine the problem stopped. Any "good" reptile owner will tell you to avoid pine at all cost as well as cedar. I have a feeling more people will agree with me rather than disagree. A quick google search will tell you that both cedar and pine are not good substrate for any animal whether it be mammalian or reptilian.

What the hell do you know? From a vet tech standpoint, you are a substrate loser.
Apparently, so am I.

It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
It is okay to feed live food to snakes.

I would expect a complete lack of reading comprehension from someone misguided enough to use pine.

Careful. You're gonna end up being cited as a source for pine being dangerous to snakes.

I've moved on.
I use sand paper and glass. No more shedding issues.
I dare you to google it...no bad reviews so it must be good.
