Jungle moss? I’m guessing that’s the same stuff I used to have growing on my north-facing “lawn” instead of grass. Just aesthetically speaking, I like moss. It reminds me of lovely, temperate forests. But as a substrate for a ball python? No. Because you can’t clean it. If you were willing constantly to cut out soiled sections and replace with clean moss, then I guess it would make for a really pretty display cage substrate. But the only alternative to that would be to scrape off visible chunks of feces and urates and leave the bacteria behind. Not so sanitary. But then, I’m a plain paper devotee.
Also, the Cage and Habitat Forum is always a good alternative for these sorts of questions when you don’t get much response on the specific animal forum. Actually, it’s just good anyway - usually less posturing and sarcasm.
