    Please help!?! mold/bacteria questions

    Hey everyone in the BP community ive had my first for about a year now and he is thriving. However, a couple weeks ago i notices alot of mold growing on the underside of my the branches in my tank. I got worried and cleaned the tank early. Now i suddenly realized why this is happening. I probably have stagnent air because i duct taped off the screen lid for humidity. Today i cut 2 more ventilation areas is there anything eles i should do? How often should i clean out the enclosure, i usually do every two months. Should i take him to the vet just for a checkup? im very worried

    If you are having these issues, I would clean monthly. Soak all decorations in a bleach solution.
