Is this fine?

[jamest0o0]

So i got branches off some safe trees a couple months ago, but left them in my garage until now. I scrubbed them with warm water and i'm baking them, is there any problem in using these?

Also i bought some cork bark, does this need cleaned or can i just put it in the cage?

Thanks

Simple rinse the cork bark that u bought should be fine,if u want to make sure,diluted bleach water will serve the purpose.
I would just rinse them under the hot water since u bought them new,do dry them before u put inside the cage.

Okay cool, what about the branches? I baked them at 400 for 50 min.

If u already baked the branches ,its great,usually u can just rinse them too ,I like my oven strictly for Turkey,chicken n cake,I can tell u are a person likes to be 100 percent sure,which is awesome.

Okay great thanks! Lol i can be a bit obsessive at times. Should be interesting to see how my gf reacts when she comes home to see the first thing i've ever cooked in the kitchen is tree branches, sand, and dirt(for plants).

Personally I just rinse my branches off I don't do the bleach method as I feel that's a little much, I do cut buds or sharp edges of all branches. Only reason I don't do the bleach method I feel for one it's over doing it two if water is sprayed onto a branch and you didn't thoroughly clean all the bleach off and your Cham drinks a drip of water from that branch...then what. In the pic below these branches where fresh cut and only rinsed, my Cham is doing great.

I forgot to mention "2percent" diluted bleach water.
Or Hydrogen peroxide 3percent "if the branch is extra dirty from an unknown place,one interesting about the hydrogen peroxide is great to kill germ as human like us use it to rinse in our month for getting rid of all type of germs.
