    Cedar will kill him. So if it is indeed cedar don't use it.

    you can use oak, popple, birch, iron wood, maple, and hickory. I know your dissapointment when you find a peice that you like, but it will kill any frog. Also don't use any green wood(still alive) as even oak is toxic when it's green. Best to find down branches, 1/2 rotted, or barkless pieces. You can scrub the rot with a rock and get a nice polished piece out of it.

    I would also stay away from useing pine.

    that kinda looks like cedar but i think its normally a bit more red. Did it smell like cedar?

    It smelled similar (the perfume like smell) but not like cedar chips you find at pet stores. Idk what else it could be though.

    Its not cedar. It looks like a half log hide you see for sale at pet stores. Its safe, but if it has been used previously, I would bake it in the oven for an hour or so at 200F.
