I've used natural logs and the only preparation I have done is to leave them out in full sunlight for a few hot days, which gets rid of most insects (there have been a few that persisted for a while, but they disappear in time).
One thing to watch for, though, is that the hollow logs you find in the bush aren't already homes for other animals. Hollow logs (especially if still connected to a dead, standing tree) are a valuable habitat resource for wildlife.
:I want to get a large log for my nile's cage, for climbing & basking purposes. Instead of buying a log for top dollar I thought I would just go to a forrest and cut a nice branch off an oak tree --- for free. Any objections, on why this is or is not a good idea?
