I'm not sure if it is. I know not to use pine or cypress but I don't know about anything else. My guess is you should be good if you just give it a good wash, but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe someone else knows more than I do on this.

Isn’t sumac poison, like poison ivy? Is that what those smaller hanging vines are too?

Idk about sumac but isn't it only the leaves that are poisonous on poison ivy?

See it's not just me people lol. Why is it so hard to find chameleon safe tree branches. One sec I 'll post the chameleon safe plant link

I didn't really look for cham safe branches. All I did was go outside and clean them really well. I know some people bake them as well. My biggest concern was that they didn't flake and allow anything to get in Gatsby's eyes(s).

See that's kind of what I did after I couldnt find branches that were safe . Then I accidently put elderberry branches in my chams enclousure ?

I use a spice called sumac, which I guess comes from the tree. Google says there’s different types of sumac trees and shrubs and not all are poisonous. Honestly, not knowing, I’d default to something more common like oak or maple.

Isnt the main concern from branches is leaching sap when warmed, also releasing aromatics? Some trees for instance pine as previously mentioned give up the sap easy when warmed,, you can bake the sap out by cooking in oven.
Cedar wood repels insects somehow i believe, or at least moths, cedar coat hangers are top notch.

Poison Ivy's irritant comes from its sap, so it's systemic—the whole plant is poisonous.
Never burn it to get rid of it; the poison can be dispersed & inhaled in the smoke.
You really don't want that stuff in your lungs!
Not all sumacs are poisonous (as not all ivies or oaks are). Poison Sumac (a.k.a. thunderwood)

Wow, thanks for the list of reptile safe wood. I have Mimosa.
There's a difference between the poison sumac and the sumac berry tree, but not sure what it is unfortunately!
