Default Spahgnum Moss... is this right?

Just wondering if this is the right way to use spag moss in a enclosure. It's for my salamander... never used moss before so im not too sure, please let me know.





Cheers.

Not sure for a salamanda, but the best thing to do to get it to retain the moisutre is to stick it in a tub with an entrace cut out and spray regularly.

Thanks for the help guys. yeh but salamanders love to hide in it and a tub wouldnt be big enough. ive added more moss to the enclosure, does this look better?





also, the end without moss is going to be the dryer end, would this be the best place to put the hide and water dish?

cheers.
