Are there any live mosses and lichens to be avoided?

Is there any Live Mosses or Lichens you should avoid putting in a living terrarium for a tortoise? I thought they would look great as a green area within the enclosure for a green space as well as to help keep in moister however, want to make sure there aren't any to be avoided. Thank you![/font]

I was interested in going that route as well, unfortunately...

The only live moss I can find anything on is the Sphagnum moss and some torts have a problem with that causing impacting from what I can find. I skipped it all together because I couldn't find any real positive information, mostly negative in fact.

Good luck and please post if you find anything!
