Safe woods for Boas

[SirPluto]

Hey Guys,

Well my little guy is going to be here in a little over a week! eeek!!!:bouncy:I was looking online trying to find fun things to stick in his cage so he has some hiding spots and some fun things to climb on. After looking at a lot of high priced, flimsy looking vines and sticks on line I figured it would probably just be easier to make my own. I have 2 full wood shops at my disposal and just about every tool you could possibly imagine. So that's a no brainer. However I was wondering what are safe woods for Boas? Is there any types I should steer clear of? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also anything I should look for or steer clear of when it comes to wood glues and adhesives? Any other building tips are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sir Pluto

go pick up some branches from the park, just avoid cedar and pine.

If you get branches from the wild I would try to either freeze them or bake them just to kill off as many possible parasites/critters as possible.

I heard somewhere that oak is a pretty safe choice.

I use branches from my yard all the time without freezing or cooking them. No issues at all. As long as you stay away from cedar and pine you are ok.

i would say oak bark, its not harmful like cedar and pine.
