Termites!!

I was cleaning Mr Pink's tank today and saw termites at the bottom of his tank where the new piece of wood I bought him was laid out. I scrubbed the tank clean and cleaned all his hides and bowls. I cooked the wood for 20 minutes at 350 and then for an additional 10 at 400. Is that enough? Is there anything else I forgot to do? Thanks for the info

I don't know how long it takes wood to heat through, but if you cook it at too high of a temperature sap sometimes drips out onto the oven. I always soak new wood in water, than wrap it in foil and cook at 275 for 2 hours. 30 minutes at those temps should do it though.

Eeuuuugh. I would be so mad if I were you... where did you buy that wood? If it was from a pet store, I would absolutely freak on them (as you'd think wood that a pet store was selling would be sterilized in some way).

It never even occurred to me to call the pet store and let them know. I was just so mad that there were termites in my poo boa's tank. The wood looks good now since I cooked it. Next time will definitely cook it before I put it in.
