Everything is great, it is just the bendable vine has a metal wire that is exposed in one end and it is pretty sharp.

Yes, I recommend this product.

A must have for any terrarium!

5 years ago
I bought this moss kit for dart frogs a few weeks ago and I have been extremely happy with it! This kit contains four species of mosses: Reindeer moss, Royal pillow moss, sphagnum moss, and Sheet moss. It contains a vine covered in Royal pillow moss as well that is very flexible and long and can fit larger terrariums as well as medium to smaller sized terrariums. These moss species will come dehydrated, but do not fret! Simply keeping them hydrated and in decent lighting will bring them back to life fast. The reindeer moss is probably my favorite, it is so called because reindeer actually eat it in the wild! It's actually a lichen and another name for it is dead moss because it is capable of dying back to a white coloration in unsuitable conditions and coming back to life when in favorable conditions and mine is slowly but surely becoming green again. The sheet moss is very useful for groundcover as its name suggests. The royal pillow moss also comes in massive mats that will quickly spring to life and start spreading, increasing the humidity in your tank a lot. The sphagnum moss is the only species that will remain dead, but it is more beneficial this way as dry sphagnum moss retains water the best out of all moss species making this a must have for frog keepers and keepers of other tropical species. This kit provides a wide array of moss forms to fill one large tank or even multiple terrariums. I used it to fill out my paludarium and my Zoomed Creatures nano terrarium. I highly recommend this kit for anyone looking for terrestrial moss species as you will find it difficult to find all of these species separately, especially for as good of a price.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Questions

Is this preserved moss or actual moss that can grow?

  1. It’s actually moss that will grow if you lay it over a bed of soil. I make home-made terrariums for my reptiles and use the moss over the soil with the plants I have and it works great! Keep it watered on occasion so it can root and not burn…



Is the moss alive?

  1. Our Galapagos kit was used for tomato frogs that need a moist/humid environment. Once we started spritzing the terrarium regularly,  applied a heat source and had BRGW tank lights installed, the sub-straight seemed to grow and sprouted ferns. The tank is now thick with ferns and the frogs love it. As for the moss, we aren’t totally positive it grew or changed, or spread. It doesn’t seem to have. 



Is this moss alive or is it dried preserved moss

    Will this terrarium work for my 3yr old fancy ball python morph

    1. Yes, I use it for all four of my ball pythons. Just make sure to watch closely, because the blanket/sheet moss can mold with high humidity/dampness.
