Totally agree Jenea. I bought one of those stupid log hides when I first got my BP because I was an idiot and listened to the pet store girl when she said that the ball pythons just loooved themlol and after about 2 weeks it was nasty lol. I just wound up throwing it away because she refused to use it and I won't give stuff like that to my rats since the bark is where the majority of the harmful chemicals are in trees. Maybe it wouldn't actually hurt them but I wouldn't take that chance.
