Just what ever type of wood you end up using be sure the seal it very well. If you do multiple coats of a sealent the wood wil last much longer and any potential ide effects will be prevented.
Lumber is also baked. They bake it so it becomes harder and better for use in homes/structures. Less water+strongly bonded fibers= very strong wood.

Well i dont know what kind of lumber you use, but i have many instances where it is still very damp even sappy. All i am saying is that The individual needs to seal the lumber and IMO it would be best to avoid something POTENTIALLY harmful.

It's not potentially harmful. There is pine wood in your house. Are your snakes harmed. It can be used. There is an irrational fear of using anything pine because there have been instances of sickness from shredded pine/cedar bedding. Where do you get sappy lumber? That's preposterous.
