Can Moss in hides cause scalerot?

[Albert Clark]

Clean, damp moss in an isolated humid hide is not going to cause scale rot. Dirty, moldy moss covering the floor of the enclosure will likely cause it.

Yep. Dirty is the key word here. ^^^^^^^^^^^^. Feces and urates/urine are the main medium for bacterial growth and development of scale rot. Of course it hapens over time but cleanliness is your best defense against scale rot.
