| My gran is getting rid of her Laburnum tree. I was wondering if anyone knew if this was safe to use with corn snakes? |

Laburnum is listed as a toxic/poisonous plant.
I know that there's varying degrees of how it can effect humans when eaten (I was sick for a couple days when I was but a tiny Kehhlyr), but I was super-rushed through as if I had eaten something more dangerous so it can be different for all.
I have never heard of it being toxic for reptiles, but most certainly is for dogs/cats as well, so to be safe I wouldnt use the plants.
The wood though, if it's treated properly and prepared over a fair time (not just a quick weekend) then it should be ok.
I use some woods that are in the toxic list, but I spend between 8-12 months in prep. |

They looked like peas, peas are yummy.
I blame my nan though, who was one to teach me that many things can be eaten. However she never said not to eat those.
I think it was her that taught me the joy of a nice cheese and pansy (the flowers) sammidge, it's VERY yummy. |
