Drift wood is tough because it is porous but you can heat it in the oven for about four hours at 250 to 275 degrees. This is a low enough temperature that it will not catch on fire but it will kill all the unwanted beasties.

The problem with using a bleach mixture on wood especially porous wood is that the solution can soak into the wood and you cannot get it completely out. This bleach solution can irritate your snake. I have used the heating in the oven method many times and have never had any trouble with it. Good luck.
