Moss

Does anyone have a good source for NICE clean sphagnum moss for salamander cages? I was/am getting mine as a dried out crispy form from a company that does mostly landscaping. It's okay... but far from nice to look at and I usually have a lot of sharp pokey sticks to pull out of it.

thanks
 
I'm preparing a terrarium with some live plants, in a couple of months i'll have some newts in it, would moss from my backyard be any good or is that risky?
 
I take a short voyage to the woods down the street whenever I need some moss. I use it for T. rivularis, Ensatinas, T. torosa, and a few geckos. I haven't had any problems with it.

if your worried about any nasties/fungies just give it a good soak overnight in some myxazinor antifungal /microbiotic equivalent, that should put your mind at rest!

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
