I know this is a weird question but I have a piece of wood and I can't seem to figure out what kind it is. I was thinking it would look cool in a viv but want to make sure its safe first. Its really heavy. It has a kind of mopani feel to it. Any idea's?

It is called Cholla - it is actually from a cactus I think.

It will decompose quickly in a viv, great food for isos and springs though.

I agree, it is Cholla. I actually have some growing in my cacti garden and have free access to a ton more of them if I wanted them.

Yes it is. In my experience it is super easy to grow and you can make some cool things out of the skeleton.
