Re: moss substrate

I don't know if a moss substrate is good for a RTB, its constantly wet, which could lead to scale rot and other problems.

Re: moss substrate

moss is a good substrate to use in a humidity hide i wouldnt use it for the whole cage though unless you have good ventilation.

Re: moss substrate

Skip the Pet Store marketing - Go to Home Depot and buy the premium grade Orchid Moss.........Or buy it in a bale......Anything less than the premium stuff will break down way too quick........
