1. I've just received some artificial plants for the vivs from Triple-8, packed in original nylon wrapping. Should they be cleaned prior to putting in viv?

2. ReptoBoost: does it need to be kept in the fridge once opened?

3. Sphagnum Moss. What's the best way to keep? (I have a fair amount so need to keep for quite a while.)

Thanks all!

1. I wash my plants before putting them in just to be on the safe side.
2. no idea, never used it!
3. i bag up my moss, in sandwhich bags, put it in the freezer and then defrost with boiling water when I want to use it.

Thanks! You're magic, responding to quickly !

I'll go stick that sphagnum moss in the fridge now (fridge is slowly taken over by snake goods ). I'll clean the plants same way I do the vivs, that should do it, then.

Now I only need someone to tell me re the ReptoBoost (GP? )

my tub of boost doesn`t say anything about being refrigerated but it does have an expiry date. as long as you keep the lid closed i think it should be fine

Guys, you're right. Not anyone's fault that I suddenly decided to live by my Uncle Peter's dictum: "NEVER read the instructions!" Ok, I think we're cool, I'll find somewhere to put the ReptoBoost where no one will confuse it with the salt.

I have been using it on a stuborn non-eater. Hopefully non of yours ever gives you the kind of worry we've been going through with Shen.
