FYI, a study done a couple years ago showed that most of the 'fake foliage' sold is imported & contaminated with lead dust* & other stuff, so price tags or not, "new" or not, it's a good idea to wash it thoroughly. I would assume that the lead comes from the "pot metal" wire used to stiffen the stems- the study wasn't done with snakes in mind- it had to do with the fake flower centerpieces that people put on tables within reach of children, who often ingest whatever's on their hands when they eat with their hands or suck their thumbs.
