Default moss

I only put one in when the female was about to lay and she loved it! both of them curled up and fitted in to a small sandwich box, still amazing to me that snakes can fit into the smallest of places!
But yeah like someone mentioned cant do any harm

I highly recommend moss, but i also highly recommend microwaving it first...my royal caught mites from moss and my mates corns had the same problem. We were told just to blitz in the micro wave for a few mins and it kills anything in it.

Hope this helps.

like a wrung out sponge.

i give all my corns a 'humidity hide' use the litle plastic boxes babies come in for youngsters that still fit lol....and cheap food storage boxes with ventilation holes for the bigger ones......cut a couple of 'doors' and stick some moss in there on the hot end.....they all absaloutly love it. so much so that all my snakes now have one of these to use or not use at their leisure regardless of species.

not had any complaints so far lol, and haven't had a bad shed since god were a lad.
