Disenfecting driftwood

[tom311]

I found a piece of driftwood that will be perfect for my viv. Is it safe for my beardie to disenfect it with bleach?

rinse any particles off, then bake it in the oven at 250*F for 30 minutes. That will kill everything, without exposing your beardie to harsh chemicals

Its too large to fit in my oven. How else should i do it??

You can pour boiling water over it multiple times or soak it in bleach. Whenever I use bleach I rinse it very well and then let it soak in water with dechlorinator added (for fish). This neutralizes the bleach but I always let it dry thoroughly too. Sunlight will also neutralize bleach but the decholrinator makes sure everything that soaked into the wood is taken care of.
