Need Help Dealing With Mold

[Heatheranne]

Springtails and Isopods will help, but it depends on the extent of mold. Larger frogs seem to be annoyed by the movement of small insects within their substrate. I believe it is because they are more sedentary and like minimal movement themselves. Dart frogs on the other hand are constantly in motion so the springtails and isos rarely crawl on them.

White mold will actually spore and then die off relatively quickly within a few days. Black mold and if seen in or on the substrate should be removed, tank cleaned and new substrate used.

How often are you changing your substrate and which type are you using?

Larger sedentary frogs' substrate with no false bottoms and no drainage system to remove urine and waste should be changed monthly. Turning/mixing the substrate around helps a little.

I am using gravel as a drainage layer with mesh over that and then ecoearth. I have heat pad on the side and have a cutout in the tinfoil for a 5.0 uvb which i recently just added because I'm adding a pothos since she's too big for solid hides. I replace substrate about every month and a half. I mix around the substrate when ever it looks all flat and really packed down. It is white mold but doesn't really seem to go away it just grows. I do scoop it out then i let the thin top layer of ecoearth dry out.
