Nor does it contain anything other than sphagnum moss. I've had hermit crabs for 12 years, tarantulas for three, and snakes for two. I've used a LOT of substrate over the years and they ALL MOLD. I've been using sphagnum moss with my snakes for two years, it's constantly soaking wet, and I have never seen mold in it. It does not mold. Now if there are food items or waste in it, that molds. Hence the need for spot cleaning. Maybe you need to spot clean more.</p></blockquote><p></p>
