White mold?

[DonLisk]

As the tank cycles you may get mold and it should go away on its own. My monkey pods mold up when first added to a viv but in a few weeks the mold just disappears. This is a pretty common thing for a pretty new tank. If its been operational for some time then try misting with distilled water.

Ok thanks Don. Ill try distilled. I use dechlorinated water.

I just noticed I had some fuzzy mold in my gecko's tank today on his droppings which has never happened before, I think its because I put a lot of moss in there. I use distilled for his tank too. I used to have a piece of grapewood in my hermit crabs tank and it started to grow mold almost immediately so I quit using it. I don't think that type of wood is very good in humid tanks, imo.

I have fluffy white mold appearing on drift wood and a branch I wipe it away but the next day it comes back and I've noticed it's growing next to the wood on the substrate.

Like I said, just mist it over with some distilled water and slowly it will go away. Mold is a normal thing for wood to do and will eventually go away.

Now if it get out of control and starting to cover everything then thats another story.

I'll keep an eye on it. It does grow rapidly in the simulated tropical environment of Grif's terrarium. It grows within o few hours. I've never seen mold grow like that before. Hopefully it isn't a species that affects frogs.
