Moss

[Vixen]

Weird question but just wondering if moss in a prelay box ever needs to be changed, if so how often? Will it do something weird from being moist after a while?

Just wondering as I am considering putting in a prelay box for one of my snakes, she hasn't shed yet but I was certain I saw ovulation about 5 weeks ago, and she is looking a tad plump. Just want to be on the safe side and thought it wouldnt hurt.

I used it for my girl as she was coming up to her prelay, i put it straight in from the bag (moisture wise) and i simply sprayed it every couple of days to prevent it completely drying out. She liked to coil up in it a fair bit.
In the end she didnt use it to lay

So id be fine to keep the same lot in there for weeks on end without changing it?

Provided that the snake doesn't defecate in it, you should be fine.

just spray it and keep it moist, also add a few new bits here and there.
