Sterilizing driftwood?

[Baelari]

Just scored 3 pieces of driftwood off craigslist for $5. They were used for a tarantula previously. How do I clean and/or sterilize them for frog use?

Just kidding, boil the ever living heck out of them. Everything you never wanted to know about wood for amphibian vivaria can be found here:

While written with newts and salamanders in mind, the rules are the same for frogs, toads, and any other amphibian.

For wood in frog terrariums I soak it in boiling (or very hot water) for an hour or so, then I bake it at about 400 °F (about 200 °C) for a couple of hours. Watch it in the oven - if it gets too dry it can start to char.
