heya i was dwn on the beach looken for sum drift wood...i found sum good pices bt im wondern how do i no if its redwood or pine?? this wood is toxic isnt it or is it only if its injested??
Pine is toxic due to the Phenols it contains and can release, not sure about Redwood. Basicaly hardwood is fine, just bake it for about an hour at 160C.
If it is driftwood then bin it because of the amount of pollutants in the sea. Other than getting it thoroughly tested in a lab there is no way of knowing what chemicals have soaked into the wood. Baking will not get rid of them and they could kill your snake.
wood??
