The soily substrate is eco earth, which is the zoo med brand for dried, ground coconut husk. Can be found in blocks in most garden centres I should think. Comes in a dense brick, and you soak it in water and let it expand.
The moss is sphagnum (sp) moss. Not sure if the melamine viv will get damaged by it or not.

hope that helps a bit!

Melamine vivs, over time will be effected by the dampness and humidity in a crestie setup.
