Buying Driftwood

[Rhino]

Where is a good place to buy driftwood where you can actually see the piece you are buying? My lfs is just way over priced on driftwood and it is to much of a gamble to order offline from like Fosters & Smith. I never like the pieces I get from them. Any advice would be appreciated, or if any of you are selling a piece let me know a price and shoot me a pic.

Check the reptile section

Just be careful, they have a lot of grapewood that will eventually rot in your tank. There are some people that use it with no problems but the stuff I bought from Petco or Petsmart rotted within a few months. Also, the white fuzzy stuff that grows on DW seemed to last a lot longer with the grapewood.

also it usually says if its malasian or what type of wood is it i might be too cheap but i rather go out and find it i like to go on wood adventures (hunts)

Another option is to check out your local classifieds for people selling reptile stuff, may be able to score a now piece that way for cheap. If that fails I would go for a nature walk and look for some.

I got a small piece of malaysian driftwood from angelsplus, ordered it at the same time I ordered my seeded sponge filter so I saved a little on shipping. I just ordered a small piece of mopani wood from with my last Drfosterandsmith order just so I could get my total up enough to get free shipping and I liked it so much, I removed the piece I got from the LFS. The piece from the petstore was already starting to rot and it had to be held down with slate, so the mopani and malaysian is a lot nicer because it stays down on its own and I don't have the slate taking up the space in my substrate that I need for plants
