spagnum moss

[scott hough]

I've been trying to find spagnum moss for humid hide-boxes. So far, I have seen small clumps of it for sale in pet stores ($$$) and live bunches of it sold in bags from gardening centers. The plant shop varieties make me nervous. The moss has been torn off of tree bases ect and who knows what lives in it.

Am I asking for the wrong thing? I didn't think it would be so hard to find suitable moss.

What different products can be used in milksnake humid hide/ egg laying boxes?

thanks
