Moss or Grass???

[nataly]

I want to get a terrestrial newt, but i was wondering whether to plant grass or moss in the habitat? Is there an advantage to either, or should I just stick with a plain old soil substrate?

Thanks!

To grow grass, you need a pretty strong light, perhaps stronger than a newt would like. Live moss is fine, dry moss can be acidic. Just plain soil with a hide-out and maybe some pothos (an easy vine-type plant that needs very little light) would be fine also.
