recently bought some red lava rocks and wondered if once cleaned these would be ok inside a desert vivarium?

have tried to research it but couldn't find an answer. id hate to put in a rock which could harm my little girls.

any help would be appreciated !

Yeah... Im no expert but I do know their inert and safe to use, but just make sure to wash all the dust and broken bits off and make sure no real sharp peices. good luck.

I agree the only negetive thing I have heard about lava rock is in an aquarium it can tend to throw off the water PH.
