    Best Moss for Bp?
    Jeffree hasn't shown any signs of starting a shed cycle yet but this time I wanna be on top of it and I want a perfect shed this time I've been seeing a lot of posts about moss and I'm wondering which one would be the best I found these on Amazon and I'm wondering would these be good for the job?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8c903a24dd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...16ab0effad.jpg

    Both are good. I tend to trust zoo med never used Galapagos, but you want sphagnum moss so i bet they'd be fine.

    Can't go wrong with a trusted brand. I also noticed by the price tag that it was in Canadian dollars. Are you another canuck herper?

    I use exo terra forest moss at the moment which comes in a brick. It was all I had on hand and so far its working wonderfully to keep the humidity up. Super cheap as well, about 5-7 bucks for a brick that makes a huge amount of moss.

    Honesty, you really don't need any moss if you use a good substrate. I usually use "Forest Floor" substrate by Zoo med. It holds humidity very well and when I see that my guys are coming into shed, I will give the enclosure a spray with water and they have wonderful sheds everytime. Another option is a mix of eco-earth and repti-bark. It is a little drier but when you wet it down it keeps humidity just fine. Actually, one of my guys just shed using that mixture and it was a success.
    DON'T get caught up in spending your money on unnecessary products. It's easy to do, but in the long run alot of these things are not needed for BP's as they are easy keepers. :)
