I've been using the stuff 5 years & love it, but I just got a big bag yesterday & think something's wrong...does anyone think the manufacturer could have gotten mixed up & put pine bedding in an aspen bedding bag? When I opened it, it was very aromatic. I've never encountered any smell from it before. It seemed slightly damp to the touch & the shavings weren't the nice "peelings" shape...they were kind of mashed, rolled up & wouldn't compact. Is there a good way to tell the difference between aspen & pine shavings? If it turns out to be pine shavings, is it ok to keep it in my sterlite snake boxes with duct taped lids anyway? Or is it something that'll kill them? I have a lot of holes drilled in the boxes & tops, but there's not a lot of ventilation in them & I definitely don't need 5 snakes keeling over in a few days! Any info would be useful! Thanks!
