My T's cage was needing to be cleaned out in a bad way. She was still on the moulch from the pet store and since I thought she was about to molt, I was waiting before changing her cage.
After about two weeks, I felt it was to her best interest to go ahead and change the substrate and clean her terrarium real good. So, I head to Wal-Mart to get potting soil and peat moss. They didn't have peat moss, but they did have green moss. Well, when I get it home, it's actually very mossy and less like dirt substance.
I went ahead and used the potting soil and then covered it with the green moss since I had already dumped out her moulch. Do you think this will be ok for a little while or should I go get peat moss and redo her terrarium again?
I'm a little worried about stressing her even more so. My husband caught her and placed her in one of those Glad plastic food storage bowls while we were cleaning out her home, but when he tried to put her back in, she would not leave the bowl. We ended up just placing the bowl in the terrarium so she could wander out when she was ready. She seemed really scared.
