Moss?

[snael]

What kinds of moss or creeping plants can i use in a Snail terrarium?

Im mainly looking for small plants for a ten gallon vertical terrarium I'm building.

Im worried because i dont have lights or anything for it, and all the light is indirect sunlight.

I'm not sure about live plants but I swear by sphagnum moss- you can buy it live or in blocks that you can rehydrate with water. Snail love to dig in it and snooze in it. You can buy it from most reptile shops

I use blocks of moss that I rehydrate with water- it can dry out quickly though. I spray the moss with warm water in the winter and cool water in the summer- I consider it a snaily essential

All mine have real plants etc.

Here's a verticle tank set up I did recently for babies;



Sphagnum moss wrapped around a branch I cut from my garden, some rocks, capsicum plants, Ivy. There are seeds that are waiting to sprout as well which are cumin. I also like to plant fruit tree seeds like lemon, orange and apples.

Miniature conifers seem to work well also as they don't eat them.

Nice setup.

What kind of ivy is it? I am making fake vines with cotton rope, silicone, and cocoa fiber. Hopefully i could get it to grow on the vines, which would be cool!

I've been trying to grow live plants on my terrariums as well, mostly basil. It'd be a lot easier if the snails would give the plants some time to regrow.
