I had posted this exact question just before I found this post, so I'm really glad to see this discussion.

Friends of mine have just had an unexplained death in a new tank that had internal pine supports. Their small boa that had just eaten 2 geckos and was in the process of eating a third showed odd tail trembling and was later found dead, possibly having had seizures (Water bowl was thrown around).

Is this possibly due to the pine? they have another snake in that tanks, so we'd like to know ASAP.

On a similar vein, are there any particular branches to avoid putting inside a tank as furniture (Pretty obviously not cedar...)
