Mold!!

Hi everyone!

I have mold in my T's enclosure, and I can't change the substrate right now, since I don't have any new substrate ready. I'd have to go buy it and leave it to dry for a few days. So no substrate changing for at least 3 days.

Can the mold kill my Brachy? She hasn't touched it. I'm just afraid she'll get something from it. The mold has been there for about 3 days.

Thank you for your answers!

If it's not that much mold, you can scoop it out, no massive cleaning necessary.

Sounds like you have too much moisture in your substrate and not enough ventilation.
Scrape the surface off and add ventilation.
A photo of your enclosure may also help and give is a better idea what's going on.
A mat of mold or a mat of webbing???...hamorii web the ground or surface of the enclosure.
