Question about Pine chips

[M&NSnakeDen]

I'm aware that snakes should not be kept on pine or cedar. All my babes are on paper towel, so that's not a problem, however, I was curious about the effects of keeping an animal that has pine bedding in the same room as them. Will it harm them?

Pine is perfectly safe to use as bedding, so simply being in the same room as another animal on pine will be fine.

Funny you say that, I just thread searched pine in the advanced husbandry section and read that there's not too much scientific evidence that pine is even harmful to snakes. Interesting! THANK YOU!

Not sure if this is the thread you were looking at, but this one is very interesting, IMO.
