As you say the branches are a shocking price
For my boas I use branches out the garden or park I’m in the U.K. but we don’t have mites as such that could infest my snakes I’ve never had any problems for well over 20yrs with doing this
I always soak with boiling water just in case there’s anything on them and give them a scrub down first
Please don’t use bleach as this soaks deep into the wood, some people deep freeze the wood and also bake them as you say
