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...

Is this moss good for plants? More particular nepenthes?
- 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!

Can this be used for Desert Tortoises?
- 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.

Currently I am using calcium sand. It doesn’t seem to be effecting Ash at all. Should I continue to use the sand or get something else such as eco earth?

Today I’ve noticed my Leopard Geckos right eye has swollen ever so slightly, and has sand in it. The Gecko is EXTREMELY tame, and will let let me wash its eyes but I’m unsure on what I should use? Cotton Bud, Hot Water? Would like to fix this problem before it needs to be done by a vet. I have Desert Sand (Recommended by the shop owner of where I purchased my Gecko.) Should I change to Wood Chip to avoid future problems? Thank you in advance, Daniel.
I am wondering if I can use food grade diatomaceous earth in my green anoles terrarium that has mites
What kind of plants do you recommend for the American bullfrog
I am setting up a new habitat for my 2 sibling gerbils. I want it to be as natural of a habitat as their ancestors in the wild live in. Which substrate would you recommend that would be as natural as they would receive in their desert environment?
first of all, thanks for your advice with my african dwarf frogs! after the aquarium salt bath they are doing great and even look more vibrant now! i was wanting to know what substrate would be best in the tank. would sand be okay or would they eat that like the gravel? i have a heavily planted aquarium and need something to keep the plants in place but i dont want my frogs to eat it and have something happen to them. i find conflicting information when i research it online. thanks!

We’ve recently bought a pet snail and I’m wondering if we should put calcium rich sand on the bottom of the tank we have some made for hermit crabs and I feel as though he shouldn’t be submerged in water all the time so should I put some down or is he fine? I’m unsure of what type of snail he is but the person at the shop said he was a cold water snail I think
