[QUOTE="swimbait, post: 38073, member: 3515"] I had the same problem years ago when I first got into the hobby, I don't think I did anything particular at the time but I also don't remember if that was cork bark. I also had the same problem about a month ago, I set up my OBTS enclosure not realizing how moist the substrate was, not sure how I missed that. Luckily he positioned himself between the bark and the wall and I was able to scoop out 75% of the wet substrate and replace it with dry substrate without having to remove the spider that was just settling in. The mold has since left, although it is possible below the dirt there where there is still some moisture on the "burrow side" that there may be a little mold... You can see that moisture here, but you can also see the rest of the substrate is bone dry. I will also attach pics of my general sling cages and a close up of the ventilation holes that surround the rim [ATTACH]8155[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]8156[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]8157[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]8158[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]8159[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
