Re: BRB enclosure questions
I was wondering what type of moss is best for use in the BRB enclosure I see all sorts and pet stores and don't know if they are all safe for my snake. Is there any toxic moss for snakes?

Re: BRB enclosure questions
Go with New Zealand Sphagnum if you can get it. It resists molding extremely well, which many other types do not. Good luck!

Re: BRB enclosure questions
It should be fine... just make sure theres a dry hide/area so they can dry off if they need.

Re: BRB enclosure questions
No worries, Lil Boa...and far better to err on on the big side than the small side!
Snakey Jay, good response. Nismo, Brazilians have evolved to not only tolerate, but thrive in, high humidty conditions.

Re: BRB enclosure questions
Thanks guys. Also how deep should the substrate be? Are they burrowers I can't seem to find anything that says either way. I have between an inch and a half and 2 inches of substrate in the enclosure right now

Re: BRB enclosure questions
They absolutely love to burrow. I've even seen them try to burrow into my soft blue pillow during picture time...tough luck, little guys.... ;-) Make it deep enough so that the animal can submerge, in other words it will start shallow (an inch) and get deeper as your snake grows.
