Anyone Use Sphagnum Moss?

I picked up a brick earlier this week, I'm going to use it when Germaine ( my bp ) goes into shed to bump up the humidity. Anyone else use it?

Yup great stuff! Bumps humidity super well and I like putting it inside (or on top of) my bp's hides when he's in shed. Had only positive experiences with it so far.

I’ve got some too! Looking forward to my girls first shed (with me). Hoping it will go well.

i bought a brick of the stuff almost 3 years ago and still have some of it. i only have one glass enclosure that houses a beep and the sphagnum moss work great for shedding as well as maintaining proper humidity (b/c it's a mesh top and it sucks).

Wonderful stuff. I put it in a plastic container int he enclosure to keep it somewhat contained. Of course my snake would daily flip the thing like a table but it was still easy to take out and spot mist. Of course now that I have the humidity generating monster that is a PVC enclsoure, not sure if that is needed anymore. On a side note... DO NOT put any wet/damp/not completely dry substrate in a pvc enclosure!

Good to know, i was actually looking at pvc cages as Germaine Is just about to grow out of the one I currently have her in

Pull the trigger if you can afford it. I recommend the LED lighting option. It is wonderful. AP and RBI both offer really nice installed LED options. PVC is the best thing I ever did for my snake.

I have PVC cages but still put a bowl of damp spaghum moss in their cage when it gets dry over the winter months in Michigan. You can re wet it several times too. I just make sure it still smells fresh and woodsy - once it starts to smell mildewing its gone.

I've been looking at AP stuff, what cage did you get for your bp?

Depending on the size of your bp - you could get an AP T8 cage with the divider so you could house two snakes in one cage. Each with their own side. I used the divider when my boas were too young for the whole 4 foot cage. I just mounted two 40 watt RHP's - one on each side. Worked beautiful.

Now they are bigger of course and they have the whole cage to them selves with an 80 watt RHP off to one side. Couldn't be happier.
