Is crape myrtle tree wood snake safe?

[celbii]

Hello All,
I recently trimmed my tree and debarked some crape myrtle tree branches to put in my colurbrids tank. I cannot find however any place that states if it is or is not a safe wood. Does anyone have experience with this wood and snakes?

I put a crape myrtle branch in with my first python years ago and had no problems with it. i dried it in the sun for several weeks before I used it. Make sure to keep it dry and watch for mold.

Or bake it

leaves can be toxic to dogs and horses if eaten, but no reason the wood shouldn't be fine if dried like stated above.
