ditch the moss add more holes to lid and let the dirt dry out

Are you using springtails? A combo of springtails and a couple weeks of drying out has always cleared up any mold in my enclosures.

Agree,
Springtails and No Overflowing the Waterbowl for a while.

70/30 coco fiber and topsoil, I found even more mold so i rehoused it . coco from the seed shop was pretty bad…
temporary cage all dry.
. Might ditch the plastic flower pot but I’m not sure ?? It really doesn’t hide much but doesn’t burrow either.

Do you keep them in the basement? I forget. Maybe you need to run a dehumidifier

Scoop out the moldy areas, increase airflow. Be mindful not to over fill the water dish at this size your T will not need much moist sub.

Yes

Yes

Do you think the Flower pot is too big? I’m considering replacing it with bark Or a McDonald’s cup with end cut off. easy to remove if the t doesn’t use it .

 

[Ultum4Spiderz]

I put it back into the enclosure!

I'd crack open the backside of that pot, so it can burrow freely.
