    Default Driftwood question

    So I got a super amazing deal on some diff sizes of driftwood logs from my local pet store, I believe their by All Living Things. Anyway should I bake them to make sure they dont have anything in them that could hurt my frogs are are they usually already treated and pretty safe?

    I have never prepped any of my store bought driftwood. Just cleaned it off and used it in the vivariums. Now if you gather your own wood then I would treat it.

    I usually give wood a good wash in warm water (no detergents), then bake it at about 300 F (150 °C) until bone dry.
