So I picked up a couple new rocks for Morlas enclosure. One I was going to use as a basking rock to help hold the heat a little more, and the other to feed her on. I picked them up from a local landscaping greenhouse. Do I need to do anything to them before I put them in her enclosure?

I wouldn’t think so but if you’re nervous you can actually bake them on low heat for an hour to kill any bacteria.

I would soak them in a bucket for a few days to leach out any chemicals on them. Change the water periodically. Then let them bake in the sun for a few days.
