Okay so tomorrow is cleaning day and I have a few ?s for Yall.....
1. I want to change all my bedding to one kind, can aspen be used for a ball and brb, I know I've seen it done for balls, bit what about brb?
2. I have a lil tree stump thing with limbs that my ball chills on, but it falls over, so i got a lil widen pic frame from walmart to nail onto the bottom, should I bake/soak this peices of wood?
3. I may be buying a 20 gal high cage for my brb, what's a good thing to use for branches?
Thanks guys!/girls!

i prefer using old news paper for bedding,its free and its easy to spot clean,and does not cause breathing problems i found my snake started having with the aspen. the rest im not sure but i cant see having to bake or soak it, as for the brb use branches? i seen somone say they just soak it in bleech water, or bake them if small enouph, it was in laura's baked wood thread just the other day. :)

Okay thanks... I will prolly keep her on cypress... is it true that aspen can cause mold? as for the branches, how could I make some good ones? I see the vines in stores but not sure how good they are....
Thanks again.

I cut limbs out of apple trees.
Smell nice, strong, don't rot.

Aspen isn't good with high humidity - it can mold if it gets wet.

Just make sure you bake it at 300F not C like I did :D and keep an eye on it as it PROPER stinks the house out if it chars
