I brought this product a little after I acquired my awesome ball python, Ekans. Using the repeat purchase is an ease of mind and I love the fact that I can skip a month if needed. This product helped Ekans shed with ease.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Can this moss be revived?
- Typically not. If the sphagnum is in a brick it cannot be revived. If the sphagnum is loose, and still green it is possible, but difficult. It takes months to get a few shoots, and not worth the time, and effort involved. PS There are YouTube videos from people that have tried this. Hopes this answer helps...

Is this good for tarantulas as well?
- If you have a tarantula that is from a more humid environment and needs high humidity then yes using the New Zealand sphagnum moss would be beneficial. If you have a tarantula that is from a drier climate then I would not recommend using the moss.

It says in your description that this is for frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, Hermit Crabs, Green Snakes, Ribbon Snakes, Garter Snakes etc. I was wondering if it could be used for lizards. I want to use it for a Leopard Gecko.
- Yes this can also be used for Leopard Geckos. I’m buying this for my blue tongue skink. It’s a appropriate for reptiles from a rainforest like environment such as my skink and moss is also good for Leopard Geckos moist hides. I also use this for my Geckos.
