Safe furniture

[marijocardenasc]

Hello. I was checking on bearded dragon stuff for my new tank for him to bask on, hide, etc. The thing is that I am really confused because I do not feel safe putting wood in his enclosure like half logs or driftwood because I do not know which types can harm him since many people say that wood can be harmful to beards. Can someone give me safe wood products like half logs and driftwood to buy from pet stores? I also do not want to take a piece of wood from my garden and sanitize it cause I do not feel sure of doing it so that is why I am looking for pet store wood products.

I was also checking on small pet stuff that can be used for reptiles and came across some things. I am also not sure if they are safe for bearded dragons. These are the products I found and somehow liked for my beardie.

Can someone tell if they are safe to buy or not? Thank you

PD: If someone has any tips for me on furniture for dragons please give them to me cause they will be extra helpful.

I don't know much about the driftwood and if they are safe, I personally don't have them in my viv but a good suggestion that my beardie loves is in the link below.

That branch looks great! I really want something like this in my tank setup. Have you ever had any problems with it, like health problems? Hope it is really safe for beardies cause it is what I am looking for.

No actually, I haven't heard complaints my beardie loves it and I've seen many reptile owners have it so I'm pretty sure it's safe. My beardie loves to sleep on it as well

The thinner branch like that one is O.K for babies, a thicker one is better for adults but can be used even when beardie is a baby. Here's an example :

I wouldn't bother with the "rabbit house " or the hammock, both are unnatural . In the wil beardies would cling to branches + logs, not sit in a saggy hammock which offers no suport for the body or a flat piece of wood which would be hard to climb.

I personally have gatherede almost all of my dragon's wood from outside for many years. I sterilize them in a 250 degree oven for an hour or so. Never, ever had a single problem.

I had a rock and wood collection that I gathered when I was younger. They have been in my house for like 6 years. Do you think that it would be ok for me to sterilize some of them even though they are really old? And would you recommend me to throw away the others that are not sterilized for the safety of the beardie? Also I do not know the type of wood of my wood piece so I think I won´t use it for the safety of the dragon.
