Mold and mushooms?

[smith710]

Ok, the mold and mushrooms are currently in my frog terrarium.  I posted on a few frog forums and they said it was fine for the frogs.  My question is, is it a problem for cresties.  I would like to take my frogs out of that terrarium and move my cresties in there sooner or later.  The mold and mushrooms are only growing on the branches that I have in there.  It is all white.  I will probably post some pics of them later, but will it be a problem for cresties???  There is no mold or anything on the ground substrate or anywhere else, except on the branches.

Thanks

Yeah, the frog cage is alot bigger than the cresties.  I wanted to take the frogs out and put them in something else, then put the cresties in with the mushrooms and stuff.  I didn't know if it would be a problem because I would amagine there are mold and mushrooms and whatever growing where they live, but I would like to know for sure.  I wont risk it until I know for sure.  If worste comes to worste, I will just clean out the whole cage.  I will probably do that anyways because the frogs have already been in there.

yep mold i sno good
thats why you have to change the substrate when u see mold. i think it causes respiratory problems

Oh ok, I'll definately clean everything off.  Is there a better way to stop mold from growing on branches?  I haven't had mold grow on the substrate in a long time since I put a layer of perlite under the peat moss.  But I always have trouble with mold growing on the branches.

i think mold is a process from too much humiidity
so perhaps your are spraying down too much or too often

Ok, I'll calm it down a bit...
