Pictures are stock photos, but are representative of the pieces you will receive. Lengths vary from 1/2 - 13 inches in length. This cholla has been power washed in 220-260 F water ONLY. The pieces do have imperfections and you should not expect whole, perfect pieces. Shards indicates: pieces are broken, have rough edges, cut at weird angles, etc.
Cholla is great for a variety of things--reptiles, hermit crabs, chinchillas, rabbits, aquariums, pleco, shrimp, birds, crafts, air plants, creating biofilm...the list goes on! Just know that when you buy from me--I would never send you anything that I would not personally use in my own setup.
**Since cholla comes from the great outdoors, each piece will be unique--so various coloring, knots, curves, etc. should be expected.**
To prepare the wood before placing in an aquarium or pet habitat, boil it or soak it in hot water to remove any native soils that may be present, reduce excess tannins and to make the wood sink. The time will vary in regards to how long this process will take—it could be hours, it could be weeks, everyone has different results.
