    pull off a few clumps, get them wet, I put one small clump in the hide , then just drop a few more around the tank to add clutter.

    Re: Moss

    I've heard some mentions of mold or bacteria in moss - how do I prevent that?

    I change it out with the substrate, I also dont throw it in there soaking wet. I wet a clump down. Squeeze it so its damp then put it in the enclosure.

    I always put mine in a large bowl and set it in the enclosure. That way he can get in it and soak just make sure to change it every couple of days because they will poop in it.
