Not sure where to post this. Thinking of looking for wood branches on one of the hiking trails near me. Sadly there are a lot of pine wood, and while there are some non-pine wood I'm worried about misidentifying. How do I make absolutely sure the wood I find is not pine or cedar or dangerous to ball pythons?

I'm currently looking into several nature guides for reference but if anyone has any experience with this, I wouldn't mind hearing some tips or advise to get more familiar with wood types.

Alternatively anyone know where I could simply buy some wood branches? I've seen several places online but I feel I need to physically see the shape and size (looking for a very particular size). So far petstores near by me don't seem to have a good variety.
