In Reply to: Sphagnum moss posted by Saker on May 07, 2003 at 21:01:16:

"Green Moss" or some "Spanish Moss" .. I use the green moss and it has a minty smell to it - works great... i only spray it down once a week, but right out of the bag I soak it and squeeze out the excess water... Dry this stuff is pretty messy, but damn its managable

:Hello I will be getting some snakes that require high humidity, I'm using the old "sphagnum in a cup" trick to help out with that.

:#1 I have never worked with sphagnum before anything I should know?

:#2 This is some fairly smelly stuff(when wet anyways), will this be problematic?

:Oh yes, the brand is Hiawatha green moss.
