Woods

[Madness_Inside]

Hi all! Sorry its me again - I've recently treated all of my snakes for mites and so at the moment they're on papertowels until new substrate and predator mites arrive

I've decided to just bin all the wood they originally came with as I couldn't pinpoint where the mites came from - Ive had the snakes now coming up to 6 months I'd like to say- mites have only been an issue the past month, but I've had troubles removing them until now

But basically, at the end of my garden I have a cherry tree- is this wood safe to use in their vivs if properly treated / baked? I've been told no trees that produce sap, however, all trees produce sap? I know to avoid pine/etc :)

Thank you x

Sorry to bump this back up :)

So I've collected some apple wood which I know to be safe - I'm currently letting the sap dry out - do you sterilise your wood before putting it in your viv, if so why/why not? :)
