Afternoon,
I have been having problems with keeping my enclosure humid enough. I can only get it to about 50% max with a lot of misting, if I leave it for a day it goes down to 30%. Olli's last shed was OK, but not great. It certainly looked as if it was hard for him to get off, and there were holes etc. I had to bathe him to get all the retained shed off afterwards. If he shedded fine I wouldn't worry.
Doing some gardening, I noticed that some rocks that are facing southward in our garden are covered in moss. I am wondering if there are any types of Moss that are toxic to snakes, specifically a Morelia Bredli. I can add a photo of the two types of moss found (could be one in differing forms) on the rocks if need be.
For people who do use moss, what is the best way to do it. I understand they need cool, moist, dark environments to grow so don't think I will bother trying to grow it in the enclosure. Do you just get an icecream tub and fill it with moss at the bottom and put it in the enclosure? Should I put water in with it, or spray it every now and then to keep it moist. Will it eventually just die and become dry anyway?
All advice that can be given will be taken on board so don't hold back
Thanks in advance,
Tom
