You can do an online search regarding wood shavings/chips and you will find a ton of information. Many studies have been performed regarding small mammals such as rodents and there are arguements on both sides. Most people believe that the oils in wood like pine, fir and cedar can cause skin, liver and respitory problems in animals. The way I see it, snakes have no fur to protect them and they only have one lung which would lead me to believe that they are more likely to develop a problem.
