Well, I have some mopani driftwood I picked up at petsmart... Put it in my Oscar tank, it's been there for about 2 months. And I was thinking of putting it in the beardie setup.

Would I be able to do this? I'm sure I'd need to let it sit outside for a few days in some good ol Oklahoma 90 degree sun. But is there anything else to be worried about?

I was told if its safe for the fish to drink, then it's saf efor us... So does that trickle down to if the water is okay for us it's okay for the beardie? :-|

It'll be fine.

I would probably rinse it off a little to try to get rid of any ammonia buildup it may have and then dry it out, slap it in. The ammonia buildup, if any, is most likely a non-issue, but wouldn't hurt.

Hope you dragon likes it!

I'd bake it in the oven for a couple of hours first if I were you. You'll want to kill any bacteria or parasites that might have been in the fish tank. You can also soak it in a bleach/water solution for a while. If you do that, you'll have to let it air out for a while afterwards.
