while I cant tell you if it is what you ordered or not. BOIL...DRAIN...SCRUB...BOIL...DRAIN...SCRUB............ Some will tell you never to use tanks, decoration and what so ever after it was in with another animal. I don't beleive that crap. IT can be cleaned but you realy need to boil this alot and get all of the crap out. I would even consider letting it age in water for a month or two. Why you may be able to clean it I never buy anything like wood that was used in a reptile cage just becouse it is a lot of work to make sure it is cleaned of all poo poo and pee that will have leached in and will leach out. Way 2 much work for me when its cheaper to buy it cleaned when calculating the time involved.
