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.
Watching FrogTV because it is better when someone else has to maintain the enclosure!
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.
