I wouldn’t think so. It will absorb the humidity from the viv and mold almost immediately. The mold would be harmful or fatal to your reptile.

don’t use oat meal cause it’ll mold if it gets moist

i use jungle carpet reptile litter it holds in the humidity really well and from how long iv used it iv never seen mold appear in it

And as a heads up, I would take the oat meal out from the mealworms. I keep my meal worms in out meal too, but I seperate them from the oatmeal when I go to feed my dragons. Only reason I say to take it out is that oat meal is really dry and might get stuck in the dragons throat or something. I dunno, I just dont want to take that lil bit of a risk.
