Two questions about my T

I bought my T (Phlogius Sarina) around 10 months ago. One month ago I moved it to a much larger enclosure with the same substrate (coco peat). I currently use a plastic bottle lid for water.

1. I've noticed some white spots of mould growing throughout my enclosure. Is this alright

2. My T has been very shy ever since the day I've gotten it. I've been feeding it freshing killed mealworms. It hasn't been eating/growing as much as I would have liked, I try to give a worm every 4 days or so, and leave it in the enclosure for 1 day. I attempted to give some live mealworms, and recorded it, but the mealworms would simply bury into the soil. Is there any approach I can take to try to live feed?

Mold isn't that bad...tarantulas naturally live with mold. However this is a sign. You might need to increase ventilation to keep it from happening.
Mealworms are like giving your T candy bars all the time. Give it some real live food...roaches/crickets/locusts work great.
