    Default Mold in Whites tank

    Froggers cage has doing really well on the humidity and heat lately and I havent had to spray everyday, just change his water and feed him and turn on his light everyday. But for the last two days I didnt because of the heat. It has been up in the 90's up to 100 degrees ferienhiet. But today when I went to change his water I noticed he had mold all over everything. i freaked out and cleaned his cage completely and reset it up with gravel under the moss. But the gravel is completely covered with a thick layer of moss. I was reading on here about mold and it seems I may have over reacted. Just in case it happens again do I clean it completely again or do I just let it go. It was pretty much just all over the subtrate. He was almost do for a complete break down anyway, but I ussually do it at night so I dont disturb his sleep, which I really did today.

    All 3 of my tanks have "cycled" through some mold. I freaked out at first too, but it never got bad before going away again. If you have live plants and a drainage layer, you really wont need to worry.
    2.0.3 Hyla versicolor "Eastern Gray Tree Frogs"
    2.2.0 Agalychnis callidryas "Red Eyed Tree Frogs"

    0.0.3 Dendrobates auratus "Turquoise and Bronze"
    0.0.1 Anaxyrus fowleri "Fowler's Toad"

    Thanks. Right now he has fake plant and he had no drainage layer, but it was doing great till I turned off the light. He now has a small drainage layer and I am hoping till we get his new home built he will do ok.
