What kind of wood

lorimartow Oct 27, 2007 05:49 PM

I was wondering what kind of tree branches are ok to use for a GTP enclosure. I have heard that cedar trees have an oil that is bad for snakes. Trees that we have around here are oak, pine, and holly. Any help is appreciated

In your area, only the oak would be suitable. I use that, dogwood, maple, beech or sycamore. Cedar is indeed toxic as are the oils in pine.
