Hey, could anyone tell me some safe trees that i can cut branches off to put in my crested gecko viv?
I know to put them in a bath and pour boiling water on them but am not sure if all trees are safe, are figs,apple trees, quince etc?
Thanks~Liam

most of the fruit trees are fine.
to be honest for mine I tend to use ANY branch I like the look of, I will either put them straight in the viv, pour boiling water over if looking dirty or freeze overnight if it's going in with something delicate. Most of the time I don't worry.
One thing I do make sure of is that there is NO foilage, this could be ingested by feeder insects and possibly poison the animals.

im like scott just use whatever i like i normally get a big branch cut it down remove all bark because theres always a chance of something hiding in the cracks then off to the bath few kettles of boiling water then leave to dry jobs a goodun
