wanna get some moss growing on my braches ect, make it look really natural ect, just lookin 4 advice about what 2 use ect. will only be used on the branches so that they dnt eat it hunting.

going to buy some waxworms tomorrow and make them turn into moths get them having a bit more exercise in the viv. but a friend of mine has a crested and he saidhe catches moths that fly in2 his window and uses them, wont that kill them?

thats all the questions i have hehe. and an update on the 3. 2 of them are really tame and dont mind running thru my hands but the smaller 1 jumps all over the place but im finkin thats due to being small and young

Not too sure how to grow moss onto branches, may just be easier to find some in woods and use that.

As for moths, you can use what you catch so long as you've not used insect spray about. Generally though if the moth is flying and hard to catch it will probably be free of pesticides

get a spare container (needs to be clear) put the sticks into the container put some java moss strands on them, spray heavily with water (aged tap rain or bottled water) every day and keep them under strong light (daylight bulbs) the moss will take hpld of the branch.

awsome thanks for that MJ,
scott i live on the back of a big ass open farm that has rapeseed growing on it, but the moths generall come from around the wooded bit outside the front of my house, and they nippy as hell to catch so doubt they are posioned in any way, might try geting some smaller1s that fly in and putting them in see what they do, if they dnt bother then i no not 2 do it again lol

I just put some waxworm moths in my viv, and the Cresties took no notice, the lazy git was sat on one of the branches head down waiting for me to feed him... As soon as the food went in, down he came,...
