So I know everyone says, DON'T USE PINE SHAVINGS FOR SUBSTRATE!!! I know pine containt toxic oils at low levels and cedar is much worse. However, my question is,
Has anyone on here actually had a snake die from pine? Whether it be as a substrate or whatever. Most of us who breed our own rats use pine shavings for the rats. They must get pine on them and when we feed them, they must have residue from the shavings. I guess what I'm trying to find out is, are the phenyl levels actually high enough in pine shavings to do any real damage to a ball.
Oh and not to be rude, but unless you have had a snake die from pine, or you have actual evidence that answers this question, please refrain from posting. I don't want opinions, I want experience and facts.
Thanks,
Jared
