So my basilisk are getting to the point where they are getting bigger (year old) and i'm going to be building them a new habitat. What wood is good (and not expensive to use). I used Poppler in my old one. I know some woods are a no no because the lizards will have a reaction to them. What ones should i NOT use? Cage is going to be 5 feet long, by 5 feet wide and 6 feet tall, so pretty good size.

On another note, at first I used 5.0 UVB bulbs (18" and a 24" to cover the old habitat. I then posted before about which UVB is best for Basilisk, and I was told 10.0, which is more for desert species of lizards. What should I go with?
