sterilizing

Are you planning on using the leaves as a substrate or decor? If for substrate I wouldn't recommend because the frog wouldn't be able to burrow and hide properly. Now for decor. Anything from the outside isn't recommended either. I don't know how these leaves will hold up in heat but I know some people will soak outside items in an iodine solution then bake them in the oven at 350 for about ten minutes. This method applies for rocks and wood. I'm not entirely sure either so anyone else please chime in to make sure I'm not missguiding. And yes definitely make sure the trees haven't been chemically treated in any way, along with the grass the leaves touch. But overall I would say its way easier to buy store bought decor and substrate.
