Thanks very much. ^^ I see Chestnut on the list as well but I'm guessing it is like wood? The wood itself is fine but everything else is a no.

Do you know about apple of any other fruit carrying tree by any chance?

I can't wait to go dog walking now :p I'm going to have trouble deciding which branches to use for snakes and which ones for the chickens to use.




A very special super, duper thanks for K :3

I'm guessing that's just the leaves? Cause aren't those reptile Java branches made from coffee trees? And Coffee is on the list

Thanks for the link though, may try and go stick hunting again

Then grow it in a nice heated and lit greenhouse like I do then. .

Much more space in one of those.



They do well in the garden too! LOL

I'm sure they are from Coffee trees :/ I've got a coffe tree would in mine that I bought from a reptile shop... At least, I'm sure it's coffee I know you can get bamboo ones but it's def not a bamboo one.

As with most reptile based stuff, it's generic for ALL reptiles, not specific ones.
The info about the foliage being toxic would affect plant eating lizards AND meat eating snakes, but has a much lower chance of causing illness with a snake because they don't eat green stuff as part of their staple diet.

Haha now I know why neighbours were asking questions, my tortoises use the greenhouse for shelter, and after and before hibernation, and until the natural temps get high enough for them they have uvb heating bulbs installed, :-)

A few rep shops have 'pre-prepared' logs and bits of wood.
But with all stuff from a rep shop, I'd give it a disinfect just in case before using it.

Noooooooooo spent all day cleaning up some fruit tree wood ie elderberry and now i find its toxic.



Soaking in chlorine solution weak.



Please let me know if safe or not although I spent a lot of time I'm not going to risk my snake. It does say leaves, shoots and bark and all those have been removed!!! Sanded smooth!!!

Generally it's the oils or saps that come from it that can cause issues, and again the risk is great for animals that may try to eat any of the foliage as well.
If it's well dried out and well cleaned/disinfected then I wouldn't have thought it'd cause an issue.

Obviously stil don't take that as complete gospel, I am no expert in what woods can and can't cause issues with reptiles.
I'm going from my experience with using woods that are classed as toxic to reptiles.
