[QUOTE="rénee, post: 60289, member: 4153"] My boyfriend has 2 emp. scorpions and with him being away with work and all a lot, i have kind of taken over taking care of them (Plus my own T's). Unfortunately i am still new to the whole T thing, let alone scorpions. Anyway.. I noticed today that the scorpions sub has some fungus and mold growing near the bottom.. not anywhere on the top, but is this still harmful? Cause obviously i can't spot clean this.. SO, Should i change the sub, scrub everything down and put new sub in? IF SO, what is the best kind of sub, we are using coco husk, and it is pretty moist, and has a red light to help with humidity. I was misting once in the morning a bit, and once in the evening.. i feel as if i probably ended up doing too much. Its just the hygrometer kept dropping, and these guys need higher humidity. Please if somebody could give me some advice and tips on what i can do about this, and if i do need to do a "reset" as i would like to call it.. what should i do differently to help prevent this again.. I'm assuming its a bit harder due to the fact that it is a moist environment with not a lot of airflow FOR the fact of humidity? [/QUOTE]
