    I'm not getting it.... Why do you have a mold? It has absolutely nothing to do with how tall the tank is.
    Set up with 4 sides covered is ok, it is recommended hospital set up setting in order to reduce stress.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    I don't know I came home one day and was going to feed there was no lid and I was using a uth on the side at proper temps and everything but there was two small fuzzy patches of white mold.

    Oh I know what that is, it happens sometimes in very high humidity and too much waste, it is not even a mold, just clean/disinfect the tank like usual and put the new substrate in. Nothing to worry about, sometimes you need to change it more often and watch your humidity, it might be not what your gauges are showing.

    I was thinking it being waste.. thats very possible. I always just mist is but I know the humidity was too high too when I added the substrate in last to the tall tank. I need to not look at it like the tanks tainted I guess lol Thanks lija

    White Mold is common. Lija is right though. It has to do with waste, but white fuzzy mold eats dead animal matter and is harmless. It was probably growing on some shed that was uneaten.
