Spanish moss?

lucille Mar 01, 2007 07:59 AM

I got a bunch of what I have heard called Spanish moss, a grayish moss that is found hanging from some trees. Is it chameleon safe?

I LOVE that stuff, I use it in my pygmy chameleon tanks - its a great plant for creating some cover. I really dont think its harmful - but get some more opinions on that first b/f you use it.

I have used it in my frogs tanks. I do not think itwould be harmful to chams.

not here to often so a little late in reply, but I would be careful. Due to it being stringy it can get wrapped around intestines. I had a friend whose CAT(!) ate a bunch and this heppened so I would tend not to. What are you using ot for? To cover plant soil? You do know that (unless pygmy chams) they do not need substrate
