HOLY COW…you guys and gals are terrible…though I laughed at the title myself, so I guess I’m terrible too.

On a serious note, what kind of moss are you using? I know a lot of people use sphagnum moss which I haven’t been able to locate locally. Roxanne went blue last week, and like I always do, I put a moist (yikes…did I actually say moist) hide in her enclosure. However, I am noticing mold growth in the hide box after 3 or 4 days. I am using green moss which on the package clearly states can be used in terrariums.

I use sphagnum moss. I get it wet in the sink and wring it out. I've tried paper towels, but the snakes didn't like it. You might find it in a garden center- I think they use it for orchids. Just make sure it hasn't been treated with anything.

Thanks Nanci!!!

Prior to using even the green moss, I steam it for 15 minutes using a vegetable steamer.

I'll check the garden centers this weekend.

Thanks again!!!

I use the Flukers moss myself and so far haven't had a problem with the dye doing any harm. I use it in my frog vivs and for my snakes' damp hides.

Nanci I really like your hide. I know its simple but when I was told to use a tupperware bowl & put paper towels in it, Well Dani did not go near it. I think it was the smell of the wet paper towels. Plus I never thought to turn the bowl upside down. Brilliant! I know that is one small detail but it makes a big deal when placing it in the viv.

Thanks again!

Do that, and if that fails, most reptile sites will sell a big ol' block of it for about $8, it's dried and so will last for ages. You just wet the small amount you grab out of the 'brick', but I think you already know that lol.

David,

Thanks...I'll take a look at a couple of sites tonight.

You guys are really funny!


Cool picture thread! Those moist hides really work well.


Ps...No matter what context it is in, 'moist' always sounds like a dirty word! LOL
