    Default wild grown bamboo

    my friend let me grab some old bamboo from her yard today. the diameter is about the size of a quarter. How can i make it safe from germs/parasites? is it ok to use a 10% bleach water bath for a little while and sun dry them? it has no sharp edges. right now I have a few pieces at 3-4 ft long each. i can cut to size when i get my enclosure.

    10% bleach solution is gust fine. I have done this plenty of time for my chameleons. Your critter should love it.

    Recommend sun dry them and then bake at 200F for one hour. Let pieces then cool in oven overnight.
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    48 hours of sun and wind drying should suffice
