I recently purchased some of the Exo Terra Forest Moss to test it out. I figured the compressed brick would make less than claimed, but I was pleasantly surprised when it made about the 7 liters as stated. I mixed the brick with more water than the directions called for (I used 1 gallon) and simply pressed out the excess which also helps remove any little bits of dirt trapped in the moss. This is a green moss pretty much similar to the boxes of green moss you would see in petco (only much more cost effective to buy these bricks). I really have no meaningful way to compare it to sphagnum moss other than to say it's a green moss, you get what they claim out of each price, and at 3$ a brick it is a reasonable option if you need moss for a reptile or amphibian.So if you want to try something new, it's a reasonable moss to try. If you want to stick with the usual recommendation I've also put in a link for a known safe brand of New Zealand Sphagnum.
