braches/logs(not extremly large ones)/bits of tree... That anyone has took from there local woods or wherever. I once did this and i sanded down the nice piece i had got and then left it soaked in water which i was advised to do to get rid of any little bugs or anything then left it to dry completly then i put it in my new viv which was still awaiting the arrival of my corn snake and when i looked the next day there was loads of little tiny white bugs crawling all over in the viv... So what i am wondering is how do you treat the wood to make sure all the little nasties and anything else is out of it
I've never done it, but heard that you should also bake it in a hot oven (200deg) for 20mins/30mins which will kill off anything. Soaking in water will get some of the bugs off, but those that are deep in the wood, and even some on the surface, will survive a 'wash'.

You need to give the debarked logs a good soak in a 10% bleach solution to kill any creepy-crawlies, mould spores and anything else which might cause problems. Rinse a couple of times in clean water and let it dry naturally in a warm cupboard.
