Hi Peeps, I live right next to to the woods and would love to collect a nice branch for my viv. The reason I want to collect my own wood is I can choose the ideal bit and also cut it to size. My viv is small so only a small branch is required.
So my questions are:
1. Can I cut a branch from a tree or is fallen better? 2. Do I have to take the bark off? 3. Any tree's to avoid? 4. How do I treat the wood? I thought about popping it in the oven!
What wood did you go for, As Im also looking to do the same ?
Lol, havnt collected it yet but it will be a hard wood. I live a two minute walk from the woods so have plenty to choose from, But its rained all night so it will have to wait
It works out fine if you bake the wood in the oven at 200c for 25ish mins. Make sure you wrap it in foil so it doesn't burn. Cool it off then its nice and safe for snakey ^^
