Posted - 15/06/2011 : 23:35:47 I've seen many posts about using branches that you have gone out and found yourself, and although I've heard of both the baking and bleaching method - no where seems to have a guide to the baking route ? Has anyone on here done this before? How long and how hot? ect... And if anyone has tried both what would you personally recommend? |

Posted - 16/06/2011 : 20:27:06 I baked some branches just recently. I did them for just over on gas mark three.They probably didn't need that long but I thought better safe than sorry. Everything seems to be ok,they have been in for three weeks now and I have not had any problems. I am quite new to snake keeping but I hope this helps you. |

Posted - 16/06/2011 : 15:18:17 I have a greenhouse I use for my branches. At this time of the year after all the other treatments, they go into the greenhouse for a couple weeks as the heat in that dries them out lovely if they are to big for the oven. |

Posted - 16/06/2011 : 10:49:13 i don't bake branches as the ones i need are usually too big to go in the oven, but a low heat, 100*C for half an hour or should i'm sure would be adequate though it depends on the thickness of the branch, thinner ones might not take that long |
