Great for Reptile and Amphibian Habitats

1. Humidity Control: Sphagnum moss is excellent for creating high-humidity environments in vivariums and terrariums. It helps maintain the necessary moisture levels for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.
2. Shedding Aid: Provides a moist environment that aids in the shedding process for reptiles. Simply place damp moss in the enclosure to support your pet’s natural shedding cycle.
3. Egg Laying: Use sphagnum moss in wet boxes or as nesting material for reptiles to provide a suitable, moist environment for egg laying.

Live sphagnum moss can be a valuable addition to the habitats of various reptile species, enhancing both their environmental conditions and overall well-being. For example, reptiles like Crested Geckos and Gargoyle Geckos benefit from the humidity that sphagnum moss provides, which is essential for maintaining their skin health and aiding in shedding. Green Tree Pythons and Panther Chameleons, which naturally inhabit tropical rainforests, thrive in environments with high humidity, and sphagnum moss helps mimic these conditions in captivity. Additionally, species such as the Russian Tortoise and Blue-Tongue Skink benefit from the soft, moisture-retentive properties of sphagnum moss, which can help keep their skin hydrated and prevent respiratory issues. By using live sphagnum moss in their enclosures, these reptiles can enjoy a more naturalistic and supportive environment that closely resembles their native habitats.
