In all my enclosures on all of the bamboo there is this white/clear fuzz growing on it. Also on my geckos poo, and even the food if I change it a day late.

Any idea what it is? Is it harmful?

Sounds like mold. In which case it's not a good thing to have in the tank. Do you have any pictures?

[Optimist]

Nope maybe i'll get some soon.

Anything to combat it?

Just keeping the tank clean and disinfecting. I had a bit of mold pop up at the beginning of summer. Took everything out and cleansed the tank with vinegar, haven't had a problem since. What's your cleaning regiment?

I spot clean/ clean the water dish every day and give a thorough clean [all the furniture and whatnot] roughly once a month.

There may be a different way so hopefully someone else will comment. But that's how I cleared it up.

Yep, sounds like mold. I'd take extra care to clean more often and more thoroughly. Good luck!

You know you could always google it. But the description does sound like mold. That's not really good for your geckos or whatever. Even though it does happen naturally in the wild. make sure you take all the moldyness out as soon as you see it. Or esle it'll spread and it might end up outside of the tank.

Are you letting the enclosures dry out during the day? IME making sure there's a good humidity cycle- being sure everything can dry out during the day- really helps keep down the mold.

[Optimist]

Oooh, now that makes sense. I'll add some more ventilation to the enclosures. I noticed that they do stay very humid. Except for the one with lots of air flow which has no mold...

Some mold in a planted tank is normal, but you don't want to see it everywhere. It's probably too humid like Laura Lee said. It can lead to respiratory infections with these guys.

The white fuzzy on the poop is 'normal' and simply means you've left the poop there for a bit...Not sure about the bamboo though...unless they are pooping on the bamboo?
