I'm a brand new snake owner and will get some pics of my ball and setup once I get it all situated and can take a breath from school.

I live across the street from a winery and they are doing all the pruning right now so I was thinking this will be a fantastic way to pick up some wooded stuffs for the tank. The clippings are smaller than a dime so I took a few of em and twisted em together. Popped em in the oven to dry em out and kill the bacteria and see how much smoke I could get into my appt without setting off the smoke detector and piss off the neighbor and... you see where this is goin...

What temp and how long should I do this at? 450 was obviously way too hot so I was thinkin like 300 or 350... Do that for an hour or so and then sand all the dried bark off...

Anybody know anything about this or where to find more information?

Thanks!
Sam (and George)
