Re: Shed Question??

if your repti-bark is fir based you might want to switch to orchid based bark, fir is a type of pine. just would hate to see you lose a nice snake like that.

Re: Shed Question??

im pretty sure it isn't. because that is known to be harmful to snakes and it says right on the package that is is safe for snakes. but my snake has been on it for months now with no ill side effects.

Re: Shed Question??

yes coy but would it really take months like 4 or 5 to have an effect? and the pine doesn't affect skin i dont think. it causes respitory problems i could be wrong but that is what i remember
