Ok, i recently got a stick, i think it was some kind of Vine, well i cleaned the vine (i thought), well a couple of days later i saw some wood dust in the bottom of the cage... i was like what the h3ll is that? So i took the stick out and there was a rather large bug in the stick!!! I killed the bug with HOT water, i mean REALLY HOT WATER! With in a week or Two there was more dust and Ka the hatchling that was in the tank, past on to a better place.
So my question to you guys, if you buy a stick or something to put in your tank how do you go by cleaning it, with out adding harmful chemicals, such as bleach or something along those lines that could be harmful to snakes? Please hope so if i happen to buy another stick in the near future, how would i properly clean the stick or anything like that?
