Default Substrates/Humidity/Mold
The title pretty much says it all. I am trying to maintain a 65 -70 % humidity and now my soil is starting to grow mold or fungus. I have 2 green anoles, 2 green tree frogs, a crested gecko, and an oriental fire bellied toad in a 55 gal. setup. Any advice on substrate set ups??

i had similiar problems with my setup. After i made a fan setup for my viv it helped with the problem. good air circulation/ movement goes a long way. If you do an internal fan, you wont bring in outside air and should be able to maintain you humidity. look up
DIY Air Circulation | GlassTropics. I also found it here some time ago but cant find the thread again. hope this helps
