What I did was order replica wood products. My driftwood piece is artificial but it looks very real and my snake so far seems to enjoy sitting on it. The x-large piece that I got was only 11 bux so its affordable and you don't have to worry about the potential of picking up anything harmful from outdoors. I also still disinfected EVERYTHING (hides, driftwood, enclosure, thermometers, water bowl, cage carpet substrate, radiant heat panel) with virosan before putting her in the enclosure. That may have been a bit overkill, but I just wanted to make sure my snake got off to a good nice clean environmental start. It has paid off so far as she is acclimating nicely.
