Beechwood is probably fine, though I have not personally used it. I have used Aspen, another shredded wood substrate. If it is not dusty or aromatic with strong odors i.e. pine shavings it is probably alright. Your active and agressively feeding snakes could ingest some wood shaving by accident especially if you feed live prey, so I would advise to feed in a separate enclosure without the wood shavings or feed dead prey only. I mostly just use newsprint for my active diurnal snakes, and use the shredded wood for my sand boas and Rosy's. Those are nice photos of some handsome Cribos. It is always interesting to hear what our friends "across the pond" are up to.
