No pine. I don't know much about wood and herps but I do believe that pine kills them.

Cedar kills. Anything else should work, just scrub them in hot water and dishsoap or a little bleach and rinse them well, and let them dry first.

soft woods in general are bad. Cedar is the worst. But all soft woods, including pine, secret an oil that is not good for the animal.
