Pine is fine as long as it isn't super fresh, so fresh that it's still sappy.
Also, keep it out of the water bowl. Turpines will be released by fresh pine if it gets soaked and these are bad for snakes.
Other than that, I've only been using it for few decades without problems.

Wouldn't it be in risk of getting soaked frequently? Snakes tip their water bowls over. Snakes climb into their water bowls and slosh water everywhere. Snakes drag themselves over the bowls and drop shavings into the water, as well as sloshing it out of the bowl. Snakes pee and soak their bedding on a regular basis.

Not trying to throw sand but is it wroth the risk. If so and people are willing to try it and don't have any problems :rockon: but as for me I wont risk it.
