Rarest of all cholla! Teddy Bear cholla wood that is extra hollow. Outside diameters range from 2 - 3.5. Inside diameter at least 1.25. Each piece is unique! Listing is for one piece of wood (select lengths have multiple quantity variations.) Buyer selects length from 3 to 48 inches. This cholla was collected in a natural (no chemicals used in the area, etc) area. We power wash these in 220 - 260 F water to get off dirt and debris and help release tannins--NO chemicals are used, ONLY water. No thorns!! Cholla is great for a variety of things--reptiles, hermit crabs, chinchillas, rabbits, aquariums, fish, shrimp, birds, crafts, air plants...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 hermit crab setup that houses over 70 (yes, 70!) crabs. **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. This process may take an hour or it may take several weeks--it all just depends on the wood. *This is done at your own risk--this may ruin the wood!* For proper husbandry information for hermit crabs, please visit Land Hermit Crab Owners Society on Facebook!
