    depends on the look you are going for.

    Java moss is a common one used in vivariums, BUT it kind of needs frog tramping around on it to keep it down. Works good in dart frog setups

    Ricca is another moss that is used. I personally like the look of ricca moss myself.

    If you want to see some nice moss in a vivarium watch this video
