I don't know the requirements for long tails (?), assumming they need humid conditions then sphagnum moss is an excellent medium to use. I use it for all my moist hides etc. _________________ Best wishes, Jackie

I use it in my hides works a treat. Homebase sell large ish bags of it for hanging baskets for 1.99 superb moss it is to just right for hides! Not the dried up stuff (they sell that also) but the lush moist green stuff. _________________ www.rickslivefood.co.uk
