Pine bedding?

[200xth]

Best of all I don't have to get into an argument where both sides are armed with exactly no evidence.

There's two people on this forum alone with a combined 60 years of snake keeping between them who have successfully kept hundreds (if not thousands) of snakes on pine bedding for decades.

That by itself would seem like evidence to me that pine bedding is not bad for snakes and can be used successfully without issue.
