Mold on bark
Hello.
On Saturday I returned a previously sick tiger salamander to his tank. New substrate and a clean tank. I put a newly acquired piece of bark in the tank for him to hide behind. When I came to work this morning I notice a small area of mold on the bark. Typical looking grey mold. Just checked again and most of the bark has mold on it. There's also an odor that I haven't smelled in there before.
Just wondering if anyone can tell me if the mold or it's spores could be a health risk to the salamander. Is it that big of a big deal? They must encounter it all the time in the wild but maybe it's a potential problem in a confined space.
Many thanks in advance.
