You know me, always trying to up my post count like a prick. :D

I've never tried freezing the wood method before. I guess that would work but I like cooking the crap out of it better.

Thanks guys.........We pretty much only have maple and oak around here, what I was going to do is just find some nice dried branches and boil/cook and freeze them............

Thanks guys you helped alot............

Yes I've heard of them but I doubt that many Extremophile organisms live on the cherry tree in my backyard. :p
 
go to local resevoir, pond, or lake that has one of those flooded stump fields. If you have waders even better, and pick out some of these root structures. Since they have already been water logged, bacteria ate most of the juicy stuff, and all is left is this wood fiber skeleton. This can then be boiled or baked. This is what i have in all my fish and turtle tanks, looks amazing with algae, and doest leach heavy tannins in the water. I also have them with my crested geckos.
 
Agreed on baking. I had a mite infestation and I baked my cage wood to kill em. Watch for pesticides (obvious I know hehe). Not sure what kind of herp this is for but I think you'd want to be even more careful with lick-drinkers like chams and anoles and with amphibians in general.

Yeah I have a very large section of woods in my neighborhood that actually goes all through the city I live in, and I think I'm just going to go very deep into them and collect some branches because I honestly don't think anyone has been back there for quite some time..........

I don't have any "lick-drinkers" though........Basically looking for my corn snake and boas..........
