Hello. Just thought I'd put this in a post of its own so people can see how I find it, seeing as I seem to be the only 1 that uses just that. Well the dimidiata and iredalei loved it from day 1, prefer that to anything for sleeping in and under, and this morning I've just noticed the fulica are buried too Nice to see them comfy, they were on bone dry bark chips before So there you go Nat

Do you want me to sit in the corner and rust, or just fall apart where I'm standing?

So where can I get it and how expensive is it because I'm just using compost at the moment?

I got mine from B&Q but most garden centres and places with a good 'garden plant' range should sell it, its for lining hanging baskets (so you know where to look) I paid £2 for a bag thats erm 12" x 6" x 3" ish. Sorry no weight or measurements on bag. Its quite compacted in there.

Got some. They love it. Look: I only got a little bag so I'm still using mostly compost but with the moss on top.

Yeah I went to a DIY store today and they were selling off pots like the one in the pic so I thought it would be good for them to hide in and stuff.

The smaller ones were £1.99 but didn't have the big hole in the side. The one I got was the smallest one that did.

Hey Nat, I am using just sphagnum moss for the little tiger babies, I would lose them in coir ;D I'm finding that I really like the feel of it I may change to using that in my big tank.
