What type of tree is this from?

[Daveb82]

I am trying to find wood for a snake enclosure. There are some woods that are safe and some that aren't. 

Some examples of safe are

Dogwood 

Maple

Oak

Some examples is unsafe

Pine

Cedar

Spruce 

 

I found someone with a bunch of branches they are giving away, unfortunately they don't know what type of trees they came from. Can anyone identify any of these pieces?

 

Would really appreciate any help.

It's hard to be sure from those photos but some of it could be Lime, Chestnut or Sycamore maybe. No Conifers that I can see, of which the three on your unsafe list are types.

I think that's a mix of quite a few things. You might be better off asking a local tree surgeon if they could let you pick up something specific. Or put a rough location up and see if anyone local could help. If you were near me I'd collect whatever you wanted from my woodland and could tell you what everything was.

 

(Apologies for all the other jokes, at least you didn't mention cod).

I don't know, why do snakes hate connys?

Why wouldn't the wood be suitable, didn't think snakes were beavers.

[Daveb82]

Conifers contain volatile oils that cause respiratory problems in snakes.

Pine fresh air fresheners saves the Scandinavians once again!
