How to prep a log for my beardie's cage?

I know I've read an article somewhere about how to prep a piece of wood for a beardie's cage but I can't find the article. I've picked up a great log and scrubbed it down good then let it dry in the hot sun. Should I do something else?

i didn't do anything to the wood in Spike's viv. Made sure there weren't any loose pieces of bark, bugs, etc. and put it in there.

some people bake it in the oven at 350 for 30 min r so to kill any bacteria or mites

is there another way? my roommate might have me taken to the looney land if i start baking wood in the oven haha!

I just took Rocky's log outside and used some liquid dish detergent and a scrub brush to scrub it real good. It seems to have worked well.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
