I wonder if some garden stores sell it for "garden" application. Probably a lot cheaper..
If I had giant snakes I sure wouldn't want to pay that price...esp. as "a. retentive" as I am about cleaning. It would cost me a fortune !!! And yes, Aspen is a pain..
Who knows, perhaps pine isn't such a bad thing when it comes to snakes ? If many people used these blends, some for decades without bad consequences, it cannot be that bad.
Hahaha, seems that we are typing about at the same time. But I am much slower, being that I have to peck on an iPad. 
I dont know the answers about a garden garden variety or not.
All I can say is that I am satisfied for my applications thus far.
BTW Zina, I love your questions, they good and necessary!

That is why threads such as this are so valuable.
One can only do so much research. Finding out about what actually works for people, and works well, is so important!!
