Review: Beautiful color and texture - I bought this blindly hoping it was good quality and was not disappointed. It’s soft, plush and green. Perfect for my little geckos. It hold moisture well and remains soft even dry.
Review: Fantastic natural moss for tortoises. - This moss is fantastic, grow up when you add water, is easy to use, color is brown but when you open the vacuum sealed package and adding water, will grow more green. I use only less than half the package and after soaking, there was a lot of moss, green and with a great smell. I use one part in my tortoise enclosure, but plan to use the rest of the package. It is easy to clean, just get a big recipient, put the moss, add some water, not a lot like half of the moss used, and in 10 min, moss will grow and turning green, soak the rest, change the water, and that’s it. For the money paid, it is a great quality moss, size is fine, and price is inexpensive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product
*by A***R on February 16, 2026*

This was good healthy moss and lasted me for months. It was more than needed for my 50 gal terrarium, so I was able to replace old moss with new moss from the bag often! Does require somewhat frequent watering, I think that’s most moss though lol. Gets in my geckos way when she hunts for crickets but I think the biodiversity is good and it also helps the crickets thrive in the meantime before my geckos eats them lol.
