I have been told, but I don’t know, that certain strains of yellow mold can be toxic to tarantulas.  Mold ON the tarantula is not an issue unless it is taken hold inside.  As per Ennie, simply transfer your T to another container and remove all hides/fake plants etc (these can also harbor mold).  Rest assured, your T should be fine.</p></blockquote><p></p>
