Are these moss safe for reptiles inhabitants?

As long as where they are harvested the area is pesticide free which I am sure it is. I have a collection of poison dart frogs and have a 100gallon paludarium with all kinds of lichens/mosses in it.

I personally, would not wear these for snake handling. These are thick, but I don't think they will protect you from a sharp fang. Maybe the reptile department of a zoo can make a recommendation for you.

I don't believe it is. All I have caught so far is lizards and small birds. It will work I believe. Pads are real sticky

I don't see why it shouldn't be ok, but to be sure ask your local reptile store or veterinarian

Actually, my moss applied to a bonsai didn't survive. Too hot, I guess although it was shaded. I don't haveany experience with terrariums, sorry.

No. They are soil dwelling and even so, pose no threat to most aquatic, amphibians or invertebrates. They are generally target-specific (as advertised). Chemical grub control, however WILL harm them.

yes you can just put them on rocks, moss or just glass jar if you like. Either spray with water bottle every couple of days or soak in water for 20-30 minutes once a week. You will know when they need water by how green. I always turn mine upside down after soaking for a little bit so no water just sits inside them. Enjoy!

Cold weather shipping will not be a problem. Moss can go dormant and freeze this will not harm it in any way.

To remove moss, use 10% and let it sit. Best to do this before a rain storm. Can go higher (15 and even 20%) but 10% is safe for the vascular plants that might be sprayed.

I live in north Texas. I have tried to grow moss in open air here but it has always died, no matter how much I misted and watered. I could never find the right combination. I think it is too dry and hot here for most of the year. My moss collection lives indoors in a medium sized turtle bowl capped with a clear plate. I remove the plate occasionally to release the excess moisture, and I rotate the bowl a quarter turn once a week. The air temperature inside doesn't get above 85 degrees F. The moss is still alive and healthy, and growing. I think most mosses seems to like cool wet climates. That's all I can tell you.

I don't know, but the moss does have a very peculiar odor. When I first opened the package, my husband said that he detected a smell of formaldehyde. I didn't, but since it's been decades since I've dissected a frog in high school, maybe he's right. I purchased this product to use indoors as part of last Easter's tabletop display. I wrapped the bottom half of each of twelve Italian alabaster eggs with the moss and placed them in a wire egg tree. Although when I was working with the moss none of the color came off onto my hands, when I disassembled the tree a month later, I noticed that it had permanently stained all of the eggs! So, if you do decide to purchase this product, be cautious with regards to where you use it. (I'm just glad that I didn't let any of it touch my wooden tabletop.)

Not at all, I use them in all of my terrariums. They don't get very hot and you can also purchase a thermostat to finely tune heat dispense throughout your new friends habitat.

Hi Mary. I used this moss in a terrarium and noticed that one kind was not doing so great. The others are large pieces and I had to make them smaller to fit. The sheet moss is the most quantity it covered a five gallon tank bottom by it self.

I purchased the assortment and used it in my terrariums, I think this would be fine for your frogs. You might want to look up each plant to know if poisonous or harmful to pets of any kind. These plants didn't spread as I would have liked and need a lot of water. Hope this helped your question!
