    Reading this right here is something I had not noticed before and it make me wonder about other statements made about this product.
    I guess it's possible to grow them with unapproved pesticides and fertilizers??? Somehow I don't see that being the case most of the time though, since we also mention habitat destruction.

When it gets damp it doesn't pack down and mold the way the aspen does. So when it comes time for a complete change out it just pours out like marbles out of a bucket. The one thing I've also noticed is that my bigger snakes can push it up and lay directly on the tub bottom this can be a problem especially in the winter if you're like me and cool your room down for breeding.

    Over all once you get past the initial soaking of the bricks to get them broke up its a really good substrate.
    I literally lol'd at that, I bought exactly one bag of sanichips in my life.... Never again. I had problems with aspen molding also, didn't like it at all.
