thanks lota! well i have taken the bark out for now and replaced with reptile carpet so i can monitor pooping better for now anyway! and when they are bigger and i upgrade i plan on using real plants, sprintails ect and all that jazz! i also removed the bit of wood that was most mouldy i think its meant for dry conditions. its been deeply disinfected and cleaned ready to go into a dry viv :D |

Same with Harley, he is a roach terminator so anything similar stands no chance, tonight I put a wax worm on my little finger and offered it to him and he grabbed the meal worm and my finger tip, it is the cutest thing ever their little rough jaws that pretend to be teeth. |

Yep high humidity, heat, and all the sugaryness of the food and poop soon moulds up a crestie enclosure. You just have to keep on top of the cleaning, they are poop machines too so I would recommend a good clean out every few weeks. You can also employ the assistance of some woodlice or springtails to keep things clean, though expect your woodlice to disappear.

i use Komodo habitat branch or Lucky Reptile terra branch, rubbery, they are great, no mould on them |

They walk in their food sometimes, I have noticed goyle do and it can mould, I found mould when I took the bark out. |
