Keeping Moss Damp

Is this the kind of moss we're talking about?

Yes, but this is a better buy. http://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-Terrar...W4RDVDVAF23C0Q

I just break off what I need and save the rest for later.

Petco has it as does Petsmart. It also comes in a bag from Zilla. Both are good quality.

This is what I use

Its pretty much the same except the guy at the petstore said it can be rinsed out and re-used 2 or 3 times. I don't do that but it was the cheapest moss on the shelf so…..

Isn't that the same thing as what the other guy posted?

Yes, but in a larger size. Its a better value since moss doesn't go bad you just store the extra until you need it.

I also added some moss today and it did help my humidty so much, I'm not constantly spraying the cage to keep it high enough, what I did was got coco fiber and mixed it will the moss as the substrate and just soaked it as I mixed it to get it damp but not having puddles, I haven't sprayed all day and it's at about 60% now. Just out of curiosity how bad(if any) is that combination as a substrate?

That should be fine. I use the same mixture for my Pacman and it works great.
