Letting my Red Eft's choose!

[alberto]

A while back I decided to do a little experiment. To find out what would my Red Eft's prefer for a hiding and resting place. So I set aside a small area with natural tree bark, another small area with sphagnum moss and another small area with fake plants for about 5 days and they all choose the natural tree bark and even the fake plants over the sphagnum moss!
Maybe some one else will find my little experiment of interest!

This may be due to the fact that some sphagnum mosses are acidic and can create an environment which is less than hospitable and unacceptable for the animal.

I agree with you Jan and sadly the very sphagnum moss that I use for my little experiment is the same kind that most people use for their newts and salamanders!
