Look, it takes nothing more 5 minutes to sterolize a branch then when you don't it takes a hour + to take your snake to the vet. | sorry mate but i dont think you can become immune to something that crawls on your skin and attacks you. Im no Austin Stevens though.

You've earnt back some brownie points after losing some in this thread... keep it up!!
And I don't bother treating my branches before I put them in...but I remember reading on APS how someone couldn't get rid of an insect that ate into the branch and left little piles of branch dust in the enclosures...so if that's likely to annoy you....why risk it?

I usually just give branches and rocks a quick scrub with a wire brush to get rid of dirt, bugs etc off the surface of them. If they are small enough i'll put them in the oven for a while, but that doesn't happen to often...
As others have said i also take mine outside quite often so i don't see how having a completely sterile environment indoors is going to help when they go outside....
And all you youngens need to show some repect to your elders, and quit the back chat
