Hello, i just got my baby gbb and i was wondering if this was mold if you can see it in the top right corner, i have something like this where his/hers poop was and it looks like its poop is molding which im super scared about and i need to see if I need to replace and clean its cage along with new sub-straight. PLEASE HELP I LOVE MY BABY GBB!!! (its kinda fuzzy looking) IMG_20210412_185748.jpg

Uneaten bits of food items or boluses will often mold over if the substrate is on the moist side. Pick it out or let the substrate dry out if it's spot mold. Carpet-type mold is harder to spot control due to mold spores being microscopic. Neither are harmful to your T albeit unsightly.

Hi
GBBs fair better in dry enclosure and waterdish.
I have no chance of getting mould in my GBBs enclosure even if there are food remains I can't get to cause of webbing.They just dry up.
I will suggest to stop watering the substrate.
Regards Konstantin
