Re: Brazilian Rainbow Boa Enclosure....early planning stages....a few questions

Since you're still in the planning stages, you might be interested in this article to grow your moss. How to Make Moss Grow With Milk | Home Guides | SF Gate Basically what you do is to take a large clump of moss and put it in a blender with some Buttermilk. When you get a watery slurry, use a clean paint brush to brush it on the surfaces you want the moss to grow on. I've seen it work before and if you give the moss what it needs (shade and some moisture) it should work great, especially if you have some rocks you want to have moss grow on. Good luck.

OK, I have to admit...make moss with buttermilk? For a second I thought you were f***ing with me....

But that seems legit..I now just need to visit a garden store and see if they have spores for specific strains. I want something hardy, that the snake will be discouraged from digging in due to density, that will thrive with a highly humid environment, but will not grow too tall....something that basically exists as ground cover and doesn't get tall.

Thanks everyone, these are great ideas....I'll post pics as this moves from planning to construction.

Thanks!
