Re: Anyone Use Sphagnum Moss?
Yes, I love the stuff. It gets very dry in Va in the winter and I keep this in the corners to help. Also its very soft and I stuff one hide with it so my snake also has somewhere to "burrow" if he wants as well as offering a textural difference to lay on. He uses it a few times a week.
On a side note, if you are using it when wet, make sure you put it in a shallow dish or on a plate so the bedding under it isn't constantly wet. Sphagnum moss is resistant to mold, but a lot of the bedding is not (except cypress mulch - but I wouldn't risk it being wet 24/7 either).
When you see that his belly is getting pink or he is looking ready to shed you can add a terra cotta pot with moist sphagnum moss on his warm side to use if he needs to

If you go AP, do the T10 for sure. I would get their flexwatt option, door lock, and LED option at least. you have to call for the LED as it is not on the site yet.
I went Reptile Basics (Vivarium Electronics) for the cage, RHP and heat tape UTH. The door has 3 nice latches so I did not need a lock. Shipping and processing was 13 business days from time of order until delivered.
I have a write up here:

Here is a write up on a T8 which aside from being shorter vertical is the same width and length.

Here is a picture gallery of someone with the LED lighting from AP.

The price for both are roughly the same when you factor in LED lights and shipping. AP has some nice options but I wanted a flip down door and the free shipping when I ordered the three items sold me. Both are excellent companies and I do not want to discourage AP, they are a gold standard for PVC. When in doubt, go AP ;)
