Hi,I was wondering what everyone uses to clean driftwood before using in their snakes enclosure.I thought I had read about heating it in an oven or soaking it in bleach water.Any help will be great.Thank you.

I use a weak bleach and water solution, rinse well, then bake in oven at 200 degrees for about and hour.
Becareful and Good Luck, Bob

I buy the kind that has been sand blasted and then bake it the same as an hour. But I don't buy a lot of it.

From what I've heard (and done myself) that should pretty much do it.
