Are they for indoor or in vivarium use?
If so evidence of Parasites would be useful to look for. (No holes bored in branch etc.) I have heard of people baking the wood (if small enough) to kill parasites. But I wouldn't use it if evidence is present. Also sealing it with a good couple coats of polyeurethane is helpful in preventing fungus or molds that may be present and minifest once in the right environment.
Of course avoid cedars especially. I have used pine stumps for pictures if aged enough. But I won't use it in a cage. Good woods if available would be aspen, birch, poplar, beechnut, oak, mohogany, or any hardwoods.
Hope that helps
Rick
