I'm been stupid i'm sure but I've read on a thread somewhere on here that I can buy some moss from a garden center prep it and store it to use when my guys are about to shed. Can someone please help me.

1) What sort of moss do I need?
2) How do I prep it (Sure it was something about boiling water and a oven)?
3) If I buy a dry block of moss (Sold at local reptile shop) can I make some up and store it in the same way?
4) How do I bring it back to 'life' following freezing before giving it to Mo and Tabetha?

Sorry it so many questions, I have tried to find said thread but no luck so having to ask

There was some in Aldi too fairly recently. Some stores still may have it.

Tesco are selling off their bags of spagnum moss for £1.50, a bargain I bought a few bags.

The pictures have been removed, but should still be helpful.

The moss I see most often is sphagnum moss. I did a google shopping results search for it and found some interesting links, not all reptile related either. Seems it's common to use in gardening for lining hanging baskets.

Hope that helps.
