I recently got a red eyed tree frog, and I put Zilla frog moss in his enclosure as a substrate (the kind where you add water and it expands a lot). It's been in there about a week now, but I noticed that it has been getting this grayish/white stuff on it. At first I thought it might be extra calcium dust from the crickets but there's kind of a lot more than would just be from that, so I'm thinking it might be mold from all the humidity? The moss is pretty saturated with water, as I have been misting my frog a LOT during the day to keep the humidity level up. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a better substrate I could use that will hold moisture but not grow mold? I just bought a bag of sphagnum moss which I was thinking of putting in tomorrow, buti wanted to get some other opinions. Would the sphagnum moss be good for my red eye? Am I misting him too much since the moss is so soggy?
I would appreciate any advice or opinions!![]()
