    Default Sphagnum Moss from Home Depot

    Has anyone used this stuff (432 Cu. In. Sphagnum Moss 110 at The Home Depot) in their enclosures? Anyone know if it's safe for amphibians and reptiles?

    I've use the 40lb bags of the stuff when I was housing over 100 inverts (tropical scorpions and tarantulas) though I've never used it for frogs. People hear say that its not easily passed along a frogs tract unlike coconut fiber. I used to get the 40lb bags for about 8 bucks and was the same consistency as cocfiber.

    I usually mix eco earth and moss together and tong feed my pacmans, so would ingestion/impaction still be a concern? Does sphagnum moss need to be treated in order to be safe for herps?

    I actually called the company a few days ago when I picked this stuff up at home depot, they say it's NOT treated with any pesticides at all, just packaged right after harvest. I'm using it in my enclosures now.
