I can't get an answer on other forums so I thought I would try here as well.



I have gotten some branches from a housing area where they were trimming trees. I have baked the branches, wrapped in foil, at 250 degrees for 3 hours in the oven. I now plan to soak them for a few hours to make sure there are no chemicals on the branches (though they never spray that area anyway) I need to know if the branches are safe. They are Bradford Pear and Pinoak branches. Neither has any sap that I have seen, nor strong smells. I plan on using them with both my corn snakes and boa.



Also



I have a lot of experience building things out of styrafoam from playing wargames. I want to know if its possible to make hides for my snakes out of pink insulation foam and then cover them in something to make them safe? I have seen rock walls built this way but dont know what they were coated in. Some plumbing putty stuff I think. Does anyone have any experience with this? I could build custom sized caves.



Also if this doesn't work what about a safe air dry clay and safe paint to make my own caves? Does anyone have any ideas? I like natural looking hides but don't want to pay the price for the stuff at work (Petsmart)
