I just started breeding rats for my snakes, they stink like you wouldn't believe..or maybe you would. Is it safe to use pine for something that will be fed to a snake?

I am using aspen, but am changing the cages twice a week..and going through a large pack of apsen almost as often. This is getting more costly than buying frozen feeders. A giant bale of pine is like $5.00 vs $20.00 for same size bale of aspen. And aspen is doing NOTHING for the smell.

If not pine, what about the shavings they sell for horses?
