Hi

I seem to remember reading that Pine is bad for snakes but cannot find it again. The reason i was asking is i wanted to make a viv out of pine to match our lounge furniture.
If anyone could spread some light on this matter it would be greatfully appreciated as the last thing i want to do is harm Houdini..

Thanks

Sean

Yeah from what I've read pine is toxic to reptiles so I wouldn't recommend it, try a similar wood? Beech perhaps?
