Spagmoss peat moss 8/12/40 litres

This sphagnum moss from New Zealand suits keepers of agamas who need a substrate that holds humidity in a humid enclosure or during egg incubation. It is sold dry and must be rehydrated before use, so the pack size you choose determines how much usable volume you get.

Why it matters

• Long, strong fibre: the moss is described as having a long, firm structure, which keeps its form when it is packed or layered.
• Moisture retention: the moss absorbs and holds water well, so it can serve as a reservoir mixed into other substrates.
• Antiseptic properties: the supplier reports a high antiseptic effect, which is relevant when the moss is used as a damp layer.
• Natural origin: it is harvested from bogs along the west coast of the South Island of New Zealand, and the supplier notes that it may contain small pieces of wood.

Specifications

• Origin: New Zealand, west coast of the South Island (bogs)

• Available packs: 100 g yielding about 8 L, 150 g yielding about 12 L, 500 g yielding about 40 L (after rehydration)
• Volume: approximate, as natural material varies; the moss is weighed with a small surplus

What it works with

It fits humid terrarium setups for agamas and works as a moisture-retaining layer or a base for egg incubation. The 8 L pack suits small enclosures and occasional use, while the 40 L pack is practical for larger setups or repeated incubation.
