I was wondering if anyone had experience with putting real bones in thier terrarium. I have bones from a deer in my back woods and i put it in a bleach solution and then in a water solution to make sure it was clean. Can I put it in my tank? the bones are completely white and actually, look fake, but are they safe for climbing on and things in the tank if properly supported? id really like your feedback guys, i value your opinions.

I would also boil them for about 45 minutes to make sure you have all the marrow out of the bone cavity if you're going to use them. Bone might not make a good climbing item tho as it is soooo smooth, they might not be able to grip it (unless they're crested or another suction cup footed gecko). Could make an interesting hide tho if the inside cavity is large enough for them to safely navigate thru.

As long as its sterilized and cleaned thoroughly, and theres no obvious dangers like big spikes on it lol then i dont see why not, would make a good decoration.
