    Terrestrial mosses are next to impossible to keep alive.
    Will the fbt be fine with 75% humidity in the long term? I would like to try out some pillow moss to cover their main house but think it needs more moisture than 50% and occasional hand spraying. Also not sure it will attach to the fake stone. Will try out the xmas/java, partial submerged and attached to the wood, great idea. Thanks!

    I don't think humidity will be an issue at all since they'll be in the water most of the time. I would only mist if your terrestrial plants require it.

    Awesome cause with my current glass top it's been staying around 70% with only twice a day hand misting for the plants. I might need to open it up with more screen less glass. I only have about 2 inches along the length of the back with wire screen.

    Speaking of the screen, I'm glad I used a strong metal wire mesh. I was amazed the other day when one of them had climbed the entire height of the glass and was looking for a way out, which there wasnt. I know they are excellent escape artists but it seemed such a daunting task to get up that high. I think he wishes he was a tree frog!
