Hi Guys,
Looking for some advice.
I want to add some branches to my Vivariums but I hate the thought of paying the pet shop prices!
Is there any local trees that can be used and cured before being put into the Viv? I know that some wood can be toxic.... I will be putting them into my royals Viv and my Boas Viv if possible.
Thanks  |

| Pine is toxic to reptiles so I would stay clear of anything that looks like it could be from a pine tree don't know if any other woods are toxic tho |

Some of the wood on surrey pet supplies is well priced.When i last needed some,Only downside being it all rots fast in natural setups.Would be fine for snake vivs etc.
Also you don't no what shape/angles the wood is when buying.So you end up with branches that don't fit well or look crappy :)
anyway,Don't use any pine and best stay clear of most evergreen/junipers coniferous trees :) yew trees,Privet more of a bush but can have thick branches,alder Buckthorn,afew more but depends where you'll be getting your wood :)
Alder,ash,beech,birch,hornbeam,Hazel you should find them in any woods :) |

| No worries,from the woods you should be fine.Parks and even driftwood you need to look what you're picking up etc. |
