I've tried to keep in my outdoor walk-in enclosures, but it has never worked out.

Moss can cause problems. Loose feeders just get lost in it or die and mold over. It's hard to keep fecal/urate matter from building up in the strands. Chams can pick up particles on their tongues and ingest it...can result in intestinal damage or blockages. When constantly wet it does harbor molds and bacteria. Some types of moss have sharp spines that can injure tongue, gums, and intestines.

I have seen it mold fairly fast and easy, so in my book not a good thing for a chams house.

I think ill just skip the Spanish moss, just getting some ideas for my new cage.

Noting is the best thing to put on the floor, chams don't need anything and can eat the bedding and become impacted. If you want you can put down paper towel to make it easier to clean.
