Thinking of using some harvested branches.

So do people using bioactive substrates wash and clean the bugs they introduce to ensure they are not carrying parasites?


@formica
In Ontario, non comercial use of pesticides has been illegal for years now. I almost wonder if your UK wood has different potential pitfalls than on this side of the pond. BUT I still caution your use of the words "understanding" or lack there of as I have seen you post in another thread. Just for once consider that maybe you are the person lacking understanding here? Maybe doing all of this washing and baking is for not? Please show me an example of someone who has lost there snake due to some infestation from wood they gathered from the wild....many members here have proven the "no wash" method works fine.
Perhaps being on different continents presents different situations?
