I see places selling manzanita root structures for reptiles and vivariums. It is expensive. So I have 2 questions, really...
1) Is manzanita at all harmful to my snake?
2) Since manzanita grows around here like crazy, am I safe to pick up some dead manzanita root, boil it for a bit to kill any critters, dry it out and use it in my viv, rather than pay $20 plus shipping for a piece?
I want to add a nice, natural climbing structure to my viv, but I don't want to pay the ridiculous prices some of these places are charging for wood I have in my backyard. I also have plenty of aspen trees. Could I do the same with aspen root pieces? Your thoughts?
