Default White Mold on some Cork Bark and Coco-Fiber?

Would this kinda mold be dangerous to my Fire Bellies? I first seen it on my rocks I have in there, then over time.. I started seeing some on the cork bark flats that I have and use for streams. Now I see some in the coco-fiber ever so often. It's tiny and white speckles.. Not sure what kinda mold it is, but I guess you can't expect to not get any with a vivarium/terrarium with moss live plants and all that stuff.

Anyways, Let me know something guys!
Thanks, Cody.

My buddy keeps darts and hes always terrified of mold. My terrariums both had a big bout of mold when I first set them up. I know mold is bad for amphibians. You can always treat mold by using an aqueous vinegar solution cause mold doesnt do well in acidic environments but its better to just lets it run its course and burn itself out. I dont know what the vinegar will do to your fire bellies or if the mold will affect them in any serious way but personally I would be too paranoid to chance it.
