I've read Blackecho's found wood thread and want to have a go at treating some wood. Is there anything (other than cedar, pine and the obvious nasties like yew) that would be toxic to snakes? Presumably oak and beech will be OK? How about hawthorne, birch and holly? Planning on using fresh felled wood and then doing the whole works to treat.
I think its only Cedar and Pine/Conifers you need to worry about. If you use 'green' (fresh) wood, it may take a long time to dry out and may warp as it does.
just avoid anything with sticky sap (along with pine and cedar) like BE said freshly felled/green branches take a long time to dry out but can warp into pretty shapes while they're sat in your airing cupboard lol if it dries too quickly the wood can split though, just something to be aware of
