Unless your enclosure is subjected to pretty arid conditions you ought to be able to avoid having to use moss throughout the tub. At points in the winter with the dry heat through the house I have to break down and do that ocassionally but usually a humd hide is plenty. Right now it is so humid here that newsprint/dish is more than enough in and of itself - I can't imagine FL being drier lol. Our 3 bloods all love to trash their tubs in short order - usually doesnt take them more than a couple days to flig water all over the place.
