Moss in pygmy enclosure

[tdadarwala]

I have an exo terra tank with a ficus and two pothos plants. several layers of exo terra vines for the pygmy to move around on. I have not gotten the pygmy yet, bus was wondering if I can place moss in the habitat?

Here is equipment/items:
Exo terra Tank
Exo terra lighting
hydro balls/screen/plantation soil
ficus
2 pothos plants
large and small exo terra vines

You sure can. I use live moss.

I have a huge layer of live moss in my Pyg girls' enclosure. The only problem it poses is a hiding place for the random pinhead cricket that comes in the 2 week size order. If I accidentally toss a pinhead in with the other meals, they almost immediately burrow into the moss and hide. The girls find them, eventually.. it's just annoying.

wow...."ABbuggin" thats a nice set up. thanx for the input and sharing picts.
Do you get the moss from anywhere in particular? or can I just get it from outside, clean it...and place it into the habitat?

I collected my moss from outside. I actually have several kinds growing around my A/C unit (moist ground from unit).

I rinsed it very well with water, and stuck it right in. I've actually tried several kinds and most of the ones I tried died pretty quickly. I finally found one that worked...and love it.
