Today I got an excellent branch from outside to use for my 40g enclosure that will soon have a Bearded Dragon in it. So, today my friend and I went outside to find this branch, and got it off of a tree. We went to his house (he's my neighbor) and his dad helped cut off a lot of the branch. Now, all I need to do it disinfect it, but it's kinda large so I don't have one clue on how to put it in the stove...

I can get some pictures if you'd like to know the size of it. Also, right now I'm going to go scrub it down with antibacterial soap, then I'm going to try to find a way to disinfect it even more. I was thinking about boiling water on the stove (at 300F) and dumping the water in a bath tub, putting in a cup or two of bleach, and sticking the stick in the tub for about an hour and a half. Would this work, or should I try something else? I'm open for ANY suggestions
