Default Wooden decorations and Leos

Bit of a newbish question, but are Leos ok with wooden things in their terrariums or will they get splinters? I have a really nice wooden gerbil hide in the shape of a castle that I'd like to put in as Fudge loves exploring, but its edges are a bit rough and splintered.

Yeah I was going to see if I could sand down all the rough edges. I just wanted to make sure that it was safe to put it in before I spent ages sanding it

Yeah sand off the splintery bits and they'll be fine - my geckos love rubbing against their wood when they're shedding (cutest thing ever) and they've got a little hampster house as a moss box which they like so yours should be happy as larry with a whole castle! lol

As said as long as there is nothing on the wood that is dangerous, it is ok to use them in leos vivs !!
