Soaking wood in bleach and placing such back into a reptile enclosure is an open invitation for disaster, as the residual effect of bleach soaked wood would certainly prove hazardous to your charge, if not detrimental. Chlorhexidine would be a safer product for such use and direct exposure to bright sunlight would also be of great benefit, but wood easily provides a safe harbor for pathogens and it would be highly advisable to simply toss such matter out, should it be known or suspected a specimen using such expired due to disease…

Sorry,

Jeff
