    Out of idle curiosity, does anyone know which woods are harmful to balls? I'm wanting to use large tree branches in Royal's enclosure (properly disinfected, of course) and want to make sure I'm not putting in a dangerous wood type.

    I believe most of the wood I've seen sold for branches by petstores is grapevine.

    I have and still use grape vine .. but I dont like to use it with any thing that requires much humidity as it molds very easily my beardies and my ackies both have some in their cages
