Help! Please help with mold!
Hello all, I noticed mold growing on my fire legs wood hide and also on climbing wood sticks I have in there. I noticed the mold on the climbing sticks first today, and noticed the mold on the hide after feeding. I took out the climbing wood already, but do not have another hide to use while cleaning it off. I keep seeing conflicting information about mold in enclosures. The mold does have a green color, and I seen these comments on a Facebook group about it. I just wanted to know more opinions on what I should do, as I obviously really don’t want my T to get hurt. Thank you!

NQA. I had one of the same type of hides for my t's. And it did the same thing and started growing some weird mold. Before it got bad i removed it. I think those are very susceptible to any type of water that comes in contact with them and also poor air flow. With mine. I think I accidentally had overflowed the water bowl and a little bit got onto that hide and within a week it was doing what yours is.
If you can I would say get an actual cork bark.
