    That makes me wonder if the Blend you all use is not blended with Pine, OR if the Pine isn't actually as dangerous as some people say.

    Because after all, the proof is in the pudding , it seems to work well and for a lot of people, too !!

    Since I only have a very small collection I might try to hunt down pure cypress if I get a Blood. Or put him on coco.
    Some of this ^^^^ I address on my previous post just a few minutes after.

    All I do know for sure is:

    That pine is a highly whiteish yellow color similar to Aspen.

    There is no yellow wood in the blend I use.

    If there is and IF it has been dyed dark to be disguised as Cypress, then the dye is not rubbing off onto my snakes bellies, especially the white and light bellied Carpet Pythons.

    There is no pine smell to this blend.

    I'm not going to get into a debate about Pine and oils/resins, no oils, etc.

    I've had zero health issues in the few years time I've been used this.

    Lastly, I've never started a thread trying to rope folks in to this. I'm just answering questions.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
