Thanks for the help.
Only problem I have with hermitcrabaddictionstore.com is its kinda hard to order from there for some reason.
And I found this moss
http://cgi.ebay.com/Zoo-Med-Sphagnum-Mo ... 53e4b6fb13
It says its Completely natural and no dyes so I cant find anything wrong with that moss that I can see so far.

It looks a bit too green... does it have any dyes in it? I guess the only way to find out is to rinse it in water and see if the water turns green.

Ok well thanks I just might PM her
Well it says "no dyes" so I might just get it and see if the water turns green. If it does turn green I could probaly find another use for it in my other frogs/reptile tanks.

Spanish noss 99% of the time is treated for pests due to the numerous pest that make a home in it. This is also dyed due to how unnaturally green it is:
