Use those that you ahve. The cherry piece will not hurt your ig; just make sure that there are no bark shreds that he can eat. Your ig is not a horse browsing the cherry leaves LOL

Cedar is bad.. for any reptile
in the form of logs is harmless. Shavings greatly increase the surface area, allowing the aromatic fumes to hugely increase. A log that's been down for a season has little odor unless someone saws or sands it.
