I usually just bake them at 450 or 500 for like 10 mins to 15mins and that should be enough.

i did it for 10 mins at 350 but i put it in there while it was heating up so it was more like 20 almost....if they were at the point where i could barely touch them, are they cooked enough?

It depends, if you have just picked up the log and it is still damp from the snow etc, I would leave in the garage for a few days to dry out before popping it into the oven. In my opinion, if there is no more liquid or bubbles, or insects coming out from baking it, it should be fine.

As a vet tech, we ran our autoclave at ~274° for an hour. At home, I try to duplicate that as easy as I can with my oven. The 400° + temps are not all that needed, as at even the 250° mark just about everything will die. It is the time that is important.

Auotclaves also work a bit differently than an oven. They are designed to do the job at hand. I would recommend to wet the log and clean it thoughly beforehand, and then cook it basically for an hour at about 275° for an hour. DO NOT ever clean with bleach. If you want to use something beforehand to sanitise, use white vinegar. Your best off with that. After cooking, let it cool off a bit before handling and do not clean with anything else. It will be good to go afterwords for your herp use.
