Hi to all, I was just wondering if anyone knows if a solid pine viv would be ok for my little girls snake as I have just started to build one. Its only I saw someone said that pine is txic to snake? Ive never heard that before myself so any feedback on this would be really helpful.
Thanks, Mark.

| Pine exudes phenols (I think) which yes, are toxic to snakes. |

| ok, thanks all, what about if line the inside with 2-3mm non-toxic plastic sheeting (which i was going to do on the bottom, sides and back anyway as it would be easier for cleaning) on all the inside surfaces then seal the edges with non-toxic sealant? any thoughts? |

Personally i wouldn't take the risk, the chances are that it may be fine but thats just me. |

Ok, fair enough, thanks to all of you for your help and thoughts, im sure the pine will get used to build something else.
Thanks again, Mark. |
