Baking wood from outside?

[Leefrogs]

Tell her to bring back enough for all your future vivs too. Including one root and stump 4 feet long--/ make that 6' just in case--- you can always cut it down. LOL


You should see all the wood my dad gave me. Stuff he picked 30 years ago.

wow 30 years

[bshmerlie]

I think its safe to say its dry by now.

I live right on the mississippi flood plain and every year I go out after the water recedes
and find all sorts of nice wood. I even cut up root systems off of trees that are uprooted. I bake mine closer to 300 and keep a good eye on it so it doesn't catch fire.

as for the deer, are you talking about the skull. I had a snake viv quite some time back that I used a deer skull in. it was in with a corn snake. I went to the extreem with boiling it and bleaching it. then boiling it again and again. looked great and she even like to "try" and fit inside it. snake did fine and is even still alive and looks great at a friends house. I really wish I had some pictures from that one because it looked incredable

Yes the skull. It is a big 8point buck. And I also thought it would look good with an arboreal snake. Or some sort of climbing lizard. I don't know about frogs in it. I guess we'll just have to see what we've working with once it's done. I'm thinking green vine snake. The rear fanged beauty.

it would look odd if the skull was up in the air in the viv.

I use to keep a pair of ahaetulla prasina ( silver phase, the male was pumpkin orange)
I loved them. I just hated haveing to keep feeding all the anoles crickets, I was not culturing ff at that time and it cost me a but load just to feed the feeders. never the less they were one of my all time snakes I have kepted.

If I did use it, I was thinking of submerging most of it, to look as if it was sinking into the ground from age. A bog maybe? Hmm now the clocks are turning

[Eric Walker]

that would be cool looking.
