[QUOTE="Tomoran, post: 56184, member: 1152"] I tend to not freak out about mold as long as there isn't a lot of it. It's tough making the call whether to change out the sub or not without seeing it. If there is just a tiny bit in the corner, move the bowl, don't overflow it, and allow that corner to dry out. If there is enough ventilation, it should dry quickly, keeping the mold from spreading. If there is an explosion of mold, then a rehousing might be in order. Yes, the move will stress the sling a bit. If it's in premolt, I would in the very least try to wait until after it molted to rehouse or clean the substrate (again, unless your enclosure is infested with it). What are you using for substrate?
