    peat moss and sphagnum moss are two toally different types of mosses.

    cypress is a good substate and it holds humidity well.

    Sphagnum moss is not really used for substrate purposes for BPs, or at least Ive never heard of it. It's better off used as a supplement to your substrate, just put however much you need to keep your humidity up and that's that. Sphagnum is good for amphibians from what I understand. Here's how I use it...(or rather used it, I switched to tubs and only use it during shed cycles to boost humidity. In a tank it's almost a must to maintain humidity, especially if it's a big tank.)
