Mould/fungus

[Unnar Karl]

I recently set up a 61 gallon tank for my FBT and they seem very pleased with their new environment but there's one problem, there is a large log that goes from the water to the dry land the keep getting small molds when moist, is the some way to prevent the mold and is it dangerous ?

What color is the mold?

[LilyPad]

How long have you had the viv up and running? White mold is normal and safe, it should cycle itself out after a bit of time.

It's white, with few very small green dots

Springtails and isopods will consume mold and fungus and will provide a great snack for your toads.

Mold is a normal part of a new vivarium/terrarium. It will cycle itself out and as DiggenEm recommended Isos and Springs will act as a little "cleanup crew" for your habitat and will eat the mold/fungus. We seed all of our vivariums at least with Springtails.
