I dunno, maybe you'll have to dump it, clean the enclosure with dish soap and rinsed well with as hot water as possible, then redo, with more ventilation and less water when keeping the substrate moist.  I guess you already have that in mind. They all say it probably won't harm the tarantula but I wouldn't want to keep one in that. It's just too much to scoop out. Its annoying how the spores spread though. I'd be really pissed so I can imagine how you feel and can only sympathise with you.</blockquote>
