"The sheets of moss are surprisingly large and there is a nice assortment. It doesn't have any funny smells or any bugs in it so that' dell + Also, the pouch has a resealable. which I kept handy for extra. Overall I really like it and I think my toad pancake likes it."

"There is NO OTHER WAY that this happened. My snakes have lived in the same bioactive enclosures for over a year with no problems. We don't go to reptile shows. We're very vigilant about what goes into the enclosures. We wash our feeding tongs, and hands to ensure no cross contamination. "

Bottom Line

It may serve well for quick temporary solutions but careful consideration towards type of mosses may prove to be the deal-breaker.
