What to consider before buying

Consider the wood's density (some float initially and need soaking), tannin leaching (which can stain water but is harmless), and size for your enclosure. Mopani and driftwood are popular for sinking quickly, while cork bark is excellent for humidity-loving species. Always clean wood thoroughly before use to remove dirt or debris.
