Then these T's should be kept in very different conditions & mold should not be an issue in a Brachypelma enclosure, as it should be kept dry. But the robustom is a tropical rainforst species so needs moist, warm conditions. Thus mold is always a potential. Mold in it's self is not an issue & something that can & does happen. Ventilation is helpful, as are springtails to keep mold under control in moister enclosures & I feed my springtails a pinch of dry yeast, every so often, to produce mold & thus keep them well fed & happy & thus mold at bay.</blockquote>
