I'm starting a carnivorous terrarium, and I'm wondering if the moss
I'm finding on the roof of my house would be ok to put inside of it,
or is this different than the moss you would find in the woods?

Moss on the roof? That's not really good for the roof, but that
aside, you can buy moss now at any garden center. I bought two
varieties of moss at Lowes of all places. That moss is better than
what you have on your roof for the conditions in a terrarium.

You'll find moss growing on the ground or in the lawn on the shady
side of long-established buildings or fences, especially where it's
repeatedly damp, such as near a dripping tap, or where condensation
drips off the roof, etc.

Might want to get moss tested, to preclude inadvertently terminating
your carnivore guests with extreme prejudice. (CIA-ese for killing
people.)
