sphagnum moss for Horsfields?
'Ello Everyone,
I have seen a few enclosures with sphagnum in there along with soil and whatever other substrates may be used. I was just wondering would this be ok to use in a few areas for Horsfields? The reason I ask is because I am getting 2 new additions, both are Missi's sisters named Bessy and Gracie, all 3 will be living together in a 5ft by 3ft enclosure...I would like to make it really interesting for them by adding a mix of substrates and a variety of plants and other bits and bobs. Was just merely wondering if sphagnum moss or other type of mosses would be ok to use in small amounts around the enclosure? just to add some decoration and such. Thanks in advanced! Tay!
