where to locate moss

[adamsmasher]

I've decided since my boy is in shed to start using moss. Just wondering whats the best way or the best place to locate it? Thanks

Here's where I get mine: http://www.tropicalplantproducts.com...=2&selection=4. I get the long fiber Chilean moss. Best moss I've ever seen

LOL stupid me. What I meant by locate it was where in the tank. I already picked up some. Sorry.

I put moss inside ceramic bird food cups (I have a parrot, so I have tons of those lying around), soak them good, then line them up on the back of the glass tank like a freight train.

I use the half log hides so I just stuck glob of moss between one opening of the log and the glass of the tank

Hahahahaha!!! You goof!!!!
Okay, when they are in shed, I put some into each hide

I suppose you just check on it daily and if it starts to feel dry you....

1.) replace it with new saturated moss or

2.) resoak it

leads me to another question: How often should the moss be changed, do you use the moss when snakes are NOT in shed and if so do you locate it anywhere else besides the hide? guess that was 3 qyestions ahe?

I think it depends on the type of moss you have and its quality.
With the moss that I get, I can re-soak it for quite a few times until it starts to get brown and I replace it.
I need to use moss to keep my humidity up since I live in a place of uber low humidity year round. I just keep a container filled

hey whats up with the "gold, silver, and platinum supporter" thing? BP.Net accepting donations now?

I change out the moss when I changed out the substrate. Which is after every shed right now. Which comes up to about once a month.
