As I mentioned before: pine shavings are easier for most reptiles to spit out or digest than sand...It's comfy for the beardies especially and it's and easy to maintain and inexpensive substrate.



ALSO---If you are actually going to use pine shavinge...you must let them air out first...the sometimes strong smell will dissapate after about a day or so...BUT>>>



The main concern is that you can NEVER mist pine shavings or get is overly wet is an area...otherwise the wet shavings must be removed and replaced...water reacts with the shavings to create a very stong smell...since we've started using pine shavings we've had no problems but I'm always willing to try new things so.....



Where might I obtain a bail or aspen shavings???
