Goliath Setup complete at the moment humidity is 85% temp is 80 f I find I don't need the fans on but they are good to put on for a couple of mins to clean the air if it was to start smelling stagnant

Hello
I am using a substrate that almost never has mold,what does cause mold is uneaten prey or leftovers. Some T keepers say,oh no I have mold but the start of it has an actual point to where it can be traced due to outside factors like mentioned above. As for sphagnum moss,I've not seen anyone getting mold from it I'm a huge supporter of the product from what I've seen.

I'm having a mold problem right now in quite a few of my enclosures. I'm pretty sure it's the substrate I used, I think it's Eco Earth, that is just substandard. (Clever) Anyway, I'm trying to maximize air flow and spot clean before and after feedings.

what are the noise levels on the fans and does it cause a continuous vibration? The fans look like the ones we use in our Rack servers. continuious vibration may stress the T. Just a thought. The enclosure looks gorgeous.

Hi mate the fans are small laptop fans there no vibration as I mounted them on rubber there is a slight noise but nothing that will disturb the T I only put them on for a couple of mins to get a nice circulation can't leave them on this is interesting because the other day humidity was 90% and the glass had condensation so I switched the fans on for 5 mins condensation went and humidity went down to 80% which is cool because I know now im getting air circulation when I need still got a couple of weeks until the T goes in so by then I'll have it ( down to a t ) lol
