Cholla wood in cage?

gothicbambi Oct 09, 2007 02:57 PM

Would it be okay to put a dried cholla wood in my bearded dragons' cage? I'm not sure, if not, is their any other reptile that can use it? Thank for help! ^^

The wood itself should be fine but from the looks of it, with all the little holes and niches, it can be a prime trap for bacteria and hideout for crickets. Thus, it will be necessary to soak that wood once or twice a year in a bleach solution to kill any bacteria.

If you ever have a mite infestation, or other parasite problem, it may be necessary to toss the wood out.

But other than these two minor concerns, the wood itself won't harm the dragon.
