 Pine Shavings??

Hi...
I’m currently keeping my Kings on bark chips...
I know about cedar shavings being toxic, but get different opinions when it comes to keeping snakes on pine shavings.

I’d love to keep them on Pine as it makes things much more convenient.... Will this harm my snakes?
I’ve got a big Florida male, baby Cali King and getting a Grey banded king baby and sinaloan milk baby soon...

i’ve heard that pine can also cause problems. you can use aspen shavings and it is readily available at pet stores.

Thanks for the replies guys. Problem is, I cannot find aspen anywhere here. I’m from Cape Town so I’m thinking it goes by another name.... I’ll look around further
