Grape vine?

[JessW]

I apologize if this has been asked before, but I did search and couldn't find the answer. What type of wood is best for climbing? The pet stores around here mostly have grape vine (dried), but I've been reading online that people have trouble with them molding. I know beardie tanks are mostly dry, but this is still concerning. Also, they mostly seem very narrow, and my little guy is starting to spill over the sides of his short stick ? They also have the fake wood for fish tanks, but I'm wondering if there would be enough traction for climbing since it's coated in resin? What do you all use with your adults? Or is climbing mostly a juvie thing?

Nope! Climbing is a dragon thing, they love it. You can use a limb from a tree (other than pine or cedar) from outside. Just scrub it down good a put it in a preheated oven @ 250 for 45 minutes and, you're ready to go once it cools down.

Thank you! Would it be ok then to use a fresh branch? It's time to prune our trees, can I clean/sanitize/use it right after trimming?

Ash? Or maple?
