this may sound like a rather strange topic or thing to ask but i was wondering where people got the wood from that they put in their vivs? i have been to many different pet shops to look for wood that goes into vivs but i have found it so expensive! so was wondering if there was anything cheap or other ways around it? i dont really want to be paying £10+ for a peice of wood as nice as they look!

strip the bark off and give the thing a good bleach and rinse, then if it'll fit whack it in the oven for an hour or so

Cazzy, there is a list of safe woods somewhere in the DIY section right now I believe. You've got to watch out for pine in particular, while in the wild snakies would be fine with pine in such small areas the toxins produced are deadly to them.

Have a rummage around the DIY section, I'm sure I linked to the safe list recently.
