The answer is in almost every other post. Orchid bark holds moisture and releases humidity and we've used it in our community for decades.It's a wrong assumption that I haven't done my research. I've asked you a simple question - do you know any benefits of using moss which can't be achieved easily the other way. It seems you don't know the answer.
Moss is OK for Dart frogs. Not for tortoises. We get half a dozen stories a month of a tortoise that ate Moss and will either die or need a veterinarians intervention. Luckily in almost every case, the poster will take the information and immediately change out the substrate.
Very few don't.
It's discouraging.
But you can only try so hard. Then just move on to another member that needs a hand.
