Moist Hide Question

[ReptileAddict112]

Can I use sphagnum moss for a moist hide medium? People don't sell eco earth around here. I'm just asking because I'm not quite sure if it will cause impaction.

Sphagnum moss makes a good substrate for the moist hide. Best to keep the crickets away though.

Ya, the moss works but everyday I have to chase the crickets out of it if any survive the night. She hunts them down pretty good, but the odd hides in there successfully.

Moss retains water better than any other substrate I have tried so far, trick is to provide a nice deep layer of at least 2 inches.
