Hey, I’m new (about 6 months) to the hobby and I’m hoping someone can tell me this is in fact NOT mold please !

Hello! Does curly have a burrow close to the suspected mold? Also do you spray water or have a water dish above that?

The water dish and the plant I water are both opposite to that spot. And yes the spot is about half way down the burrow

Oh! Ok, so I'm guessing this is some of curly's poop if you dont have any other

if you start seeing more of these and they look "furry" that might be mold and you need to clean the tank and put new substrate in.

Lol ok poop it is! I haven’t seen anything like that in my GBBs enclosure so I figured it was better to try and find out ! Thank you

What I do, is I move the water dish around. So I move it, overflow it, allow it to dry. Then move it & overflow it again. Like that no one area is too wet, for too long & that means, especially with a species that likes it dry, such as Tliltocatl albopilosus, each area get to totally dry out & kill off any developing mold naturally. A plus of this method is, it keeps enclosure moisture levels at a reasonable level. As you can overflow one area, whilst the other has a small amount of moisture still left there.

Another one I often do, is I push a pencil of similar into the substrate & then use a syringe to squirt water into the lower levels of the substrate.
