I am getting two corn snakes. I am very new to this all but am studying very hard on this. I do have a question though if you dont mind.

I have a 10' oak branch i was saving to make a staff for renfair. No I did not cut it down. My husband works for the phone Co and someone had to cut their oak down because it had grew through the telephone pole. Anyways

I know I would have to clean it and such and i can even sand it smooth, I just wanted to know...

Is oak ok for corn snakes? I am not saying they will be eating it, but there is always the chanse that when it gets wet ectra the snakes could be exposed to its oils and such.

Any help would be wonderful....

I just cant see paying 15$ for a piece of grapevine
 
Oak will not harm your snake. It would be a good idea to wash it with a 10% bleach solution and let it dry a couple of days. IMHO
 
Another option that you can do is
put it in the oven for around 30 min at 300 degrees and kill the germs that might be in the wood.

Good LUck and Happy Herping!
