Questions
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...

- I use it for mine!! It has been great! I use it for my flytraps and sarracenia pitchers, too. Some has even propagated in the bog pots!

- Sphagnum Moss is good for desert tortoises. It's good for a variety of things for a desert tortoise. Make sure to keep it moistened.

I have a red eared slider. Is this or any particular kind of moss okay and healthy for me to put on his land side where the viquarium is?
Can I use this for my leopard gecko?
- Yes, its great for humid hides.
Helpful?
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.

Hi, my hatchling red foot tortoise has a problem with keeping his eyes open for very long, he hasn't been eating as much as usual and when he closes his eyes I have to soak him in water to get him to open them back up. When his eyes close it almost looks like they are crusty. I have a cypress mulch and jungle mix substrate in his cage which is about 4 inches at the highest and 1 inch in his basking are but it's kept well watered. Thank You!

I just adopted a 3 months old holland lop rabbit i am giving alfalfa hay and pellets, i dont know the ingredients in the pellets since the previous owner hand them to me without the brand. She is pooping so much cecotropes late at nite and i dont know why? Can you tell how i can make her diet better so that the cecotropes end
How do i get my dragon to eat greens and things? She only eats moving things- worms and crickets. And i soak her in sink everyday because she doesnt know what the water bowl is and about egg binding inside her stomach.
I have recently used medication in my 50 gal freshwater fish tank with one 22 year old comet goldfish in it . the meds cured my fish but must have killed my beneficial Bacteria as now my established tank has been going through another nitrogen cycle. It's been four weeks now the ammonia us back to zero so is nitrite zero BUT my nitrates are now spiked about 80 and the water is cloudy. Did 2 partial water changes over the last 8 days. Will a UV sterilizer help ?? Please advise. Thanks Lina
