Mould grows on waste and uneaten food in warm, humid conditions. The substrate itself is not the usual source, but it can carry spores once conditions favour growth.
Spot clean daily and remove uneaten food the same day. This single habit prevents most mould problems before they start.
Stagnant, saturated enclosures encourage fungal growth. Provide adequate ventilation and avoid sealing the enclosure to hold humidity.
If mould persists despite cleaning, replace the substrate rather than treating it. Persistent growth usually indicates an underlying husbandry issue.
