yeah it was exactly 2.5hrs.and ill say it was too long as the remaining pieces of bark and edges started to singe and my house smells like nice wood. i scraped off the singed parts and im allowing it to air out since it has a smell to it now.not a bad smell just singed wood smell.
if it stills has a faint smell do you think i should discard it to the scorpion tank and just get my bp a new one?
