Re: Terrarium content
It's sandblasted as well if you find natural grapevine it will look darker. You can get bigger pieces at shows or directly from a vineyard however the piece I linked to above is the largest I've been able to find online. It will be random what you receive might have a long run lots of small branches or a single large fork. I only buy at shows now so I can handpick but understand that may not be an option for you. Good luck it's a great functional decoration they love to rub shed off on the branches.

Ah, yeah unfortunately I can't go to shows much. Everything is so far from me, if there's a show in Finland it's all the way in Helsinki and I hate that city haha. I just have to order stuff for my snakes, but that's quite okay.
I found one finnish website where the owner sells grape vines, the largest one was sold out though. I contacted her and asked when she will get more of them and if she could send me some pictures and hopefully she can mail the branches to me. 
Thank you! Haha yes and good to climb on for my kingsnake.

Try Josh's Frogs, Black Jungle, or New England Herpetoculture. (spell?)
I have seen smaller pieces of that wood before on one of those sites. The photo looks like several large pieces to me. Not a cheap wood.

Can you get driftwood, or just weathered wood?
Scrub well, and maybe heat to sterilize so there are no mite eggs.
I like the way bonsai creators make the "jins" the dead wood of trees. Some artfull scraping, carving and torching of an ordinary dead branch could be visually effective.

First two didn't have anything nice but I liked the ghostwood New England Herpetoculture store has, sadly they can't ship wood decor internationally.

One finnish website sells iron driftwood and desert driftwood. The desert ones look quite nice.
I should just go have a walk in the woods and search around if I could find a nice branch or two. How would you heat it and where? In the oven? I would be scared that it bursts into flames. D:
Yeah those are really cool!

Re: Terrarium content
For you have your own driftwood boiling water in a large pot then pouring over the wood is what I've done in the past. Never had mite or bug problems after.

Re: Terrarium content
I forgot to take pix last week, but anyway here are some pix from last night from my local mom and pop shop.
[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)] [/COLOR][COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)] [/COLOR]
[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)] [/COLOR]
[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]
these are all grape vine, sandblasted, scrubbed and cured. they were all between $60-$70. all very big pieces that can be cut down to size.[/COLOR]

Thank you for the pics! Nowhere have I found a store that sells those vines in my country. *sigh*
Guess I have to order from Amazon at some point, it's winter here now so can't go look outside for a branch.

u will not be able to communicate and choose specific individual pieces of wood/vine with a company like Amazon tho. that would work if you are flexible with what epithet will send u. On the other hand, a smaller company in the Wall Street sense, but big in the reptile world might be able to send u pix of individual pieces of wood for u to choose.
either way, good luck and we look forward to pix of your MBK and its enclosrure.
