What is the difference with using soil and a peice of wood found in the forest? Ive seen lots of keepers go into the woods and find old stumps or wood and take them home, wash them, and bake them. Wouldnt these be dangerous to use also? I am wondering only because ive seen some well known keepers do this and i dont want to copy this if its potentially dangerous for the T.</blockquote>
