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.
