Hi
Last week i purchased a lg bag of damp spaghum moss from the local reptile shop, obviously i only needed a little to ensure a good shed.

Can i preserve the moss as it may not be needed for a few more months, the bag would probably last a year or so?

Any help will as usual be appreciated

Thanks
Sean

I never bother dampening anything, they'll all reliable, easy shedders! I'd only really use it if that particular corn is a problem shedder :)
