M musicalbeardie Member Sep 13, 2016 #1 My beardie has been looking really bored lately so I went to Petsmart and bought some pieces of wood and a new hide for him. One is a zoo med mopani wood, one is all living things driftwood, and one is missing its tag but it looks like grape wood/vine. These are all made for reptile enclosures, but i wasn't sure if I should clean them first? And how do i go about doing that? I have a steam cleaner, but I don't have any organic liquid cleaner I would feel comfortable using in his cage.
