What is your humidity at and how often do you change the substrate?

The mold should be fine and seems to be a common occurence but I will let someone more experienced decide...

Thanks, yea, i have been poking around on the internet and it seems to be ok and easily controlled by spring tails, but if someone more experienced could chime in that would be great. But thanks fro the advice. also the mold is only growing in shade, none directly under the light, if that helps to determine anything.

Its fine as long as it doesn't get out of control. Most driftwood you buy will grow white mold every now and then and it doesn't seem to do any harm. As a precaution I would remove any large growths so they don't spread and keep an eye on the condition of your frogs skin to be sure it isn't attacking the frog.

Discolored dry flakey spots on the skin. Sometimes you can actually see the mold on the spots where it is attacking the skin. It will appear red and irritated with some of the fuzzy mold in the affected area. If this occurs consult the frog first aid article to treat it accordingly.

Reading the frog first aid article is a good idea even if nothing is wrong with your frog. Let's you know you're not completely helpless if something comes up. You are welcome.
