Well, gaboons tend to stay pretty stationary much of the time...kinda like ornately patterned slugs...I wouldn't be too concerned with "friction burns" due to artificial foilage so long as that foilage was soft (i.e. silk)...I'd be more concerned with the ingestion issue than anything else.

As far as substrate, people that I've known that have kept Gaboons have had success with aspen bedding or newspaper mulch...avoid cedar at all costs as the oils can be toxic...You could use good old fashioned newspaper as well, but I imagine you are seeking a more esthetically pleasing vivarium.
