Message: <blockquote data-quote="Huntzman90" data-source="post: 153086" data-attributes="member: 29032">Ok im a bit of a noob at this. So i need some advice from the experts.I just rehoused my B. Albopilosum for the first time since getting it (unsexed) as a tiny sling. The reptile store owner suggested using a fairly large container with a fairly large hide. He said the T would grow into it.Also I just noticed some white furry stuff growing from the bark hide. I didnt notice it at first and initially thought it to be webbing but upon further inspection suspect it to be some type of mold. Also found some darker looking mold near the edge of the bark. I removed the hide immediately. My t seems fine.So a few questions for ya's!Is this harmful mold and should i be conserned about my tarantula?What causes this mold and whats the best way to prevent it?Is my enclosure too big?Is my hide to large?Any information you guys can give me would be very much appreciated.I attached some photos of the mold (hard to catch on my crappy phone) my enclosure/hide and my T for size comparison. Fyi that spot on its abdomen is just some substrate it fell off when it moved lol.
