So is peat moss toxic?

I came arcos a site this morning that said not to use peat moss for blue tongues because it contains pesticides and fertilizers. I have meen using it for a few weeks because it's affordable and i didn't want him eating reptibark. What do you guys think? Thanks.

Read the label and buy the kind without pesticides (usually anti fungals) and fertilizer (added nitrogen, potassium or phosphorus)
