I was working with the wood, trimming it up and making it look real nice. It smells like river on the outside. Cutting the uneven pieces and making them even, I decided to see how they smelled. They smelled of pine!

Well, dang. :/
I know. I said the same thing. LOL..but I've got some oak and maple trees out in my yard and I cut some down. I'll have to soak one to get the bark off and the others get to have a bleach soak. First, I've got to dry them out because they were off trees. I felt sorry for doing that, clipping off branches that were big enough, but it had to be done.

Mmhmm. Youre lucky, oaks are protected to the point you need to be threatened by the branch and need a hard to get permet in order to cut it off in my area
All this talk was inspiring me. We walked to Menards to look at stones. Luci needs something different for his tank, the piece of wood he has is a pain in the butt for finding hiding crickets. So we thought we found something and then we started thinking about building something with wood. Then we had to look at reciprocating saws because we live in an apartment in the city and don't have a saw. After going around and around I left the store with only a headache and some paper plates, LOL! I came home and ordered a mopani wood off Amazon, he'll have it on Wednesday!
I cleaned the bark off the wood today and now I have to file or take off the knobs and uneven pieces to the wood.
I keep looking in Home Depot for some river rock or something to use for the baby's tank.
Ok...Update. Got a new basking- hide platform and a basking 'rock wood' decoration.

Here's a good question for you all.
I read that Allie's old wood harbors yellow fungus disease, correct? Here's a good question for you all.
What if I were to soak her old wood in bleach for 24-72 hours or three days to make sure that it really gets into the wood and destroys it? Would that help get rid of that yellow fungus for sure? I'm just wondering about that and soak her old plants in a solution of bleach and hot water for three days as well?
Wouldn't that get rid of yellow fungus disease as well?
I could do the same treatment of an ammonia soak first for three days, and then another three days to rinse to the plants. Won't that stop the transmission?

And plus: I was reading the Clorox Bleach labels. It says: Kills 99.9% of household germs.
I found this particular bleach called: White Cloud Bleach. It kills Athletes Foot. (None of the other bleaches say that so you don't know if it really does. Most of the bleaches say: Whitens clothes and that's all they say. But here the bleach that actually tells you what it kills.

I was told by Elliot from Reptaid, I would have to throw all her wood and whatever she was on out and get new.
I've gotten a lot of new things for the baby to use. I've got her climbing branches and basking logs that he/she could sit and bask on. I was thinking about the newer pieces: Habba Hut. It's slightly new. Maybe I shouldn't take a chance.
