FAQ

What is Forest Moss used for?
Mainly humidity and decoration. It holds moisture to raise local humidity, looks natural, and is great for humid hides, shedding help, and as a soft egg-laying medium.

Do I still need a base substrate?
Usually yes. Moss works best as a top layer or in a hide over a base like Plantation Soil or Coco Husk, rather than as the only bedding.

How do I prepare it?
Soak in warm water until it expands, squeeze out the excess, and place where you want it. Re-moisten as it dries.
