With the high humidity and warm temps in a BRB enclosure, is mold an issue?

It can be if you don't have good enough circulation. I made the mistake of covering to much opening on my visions and then had to go back and remove some because there was not enough circulation and I was seeing mold. Not something you want you animals to live in I don't think.

I've always worried about mold too, I've only encountered it when there was a piece of driftwood that was buried under the substrate and started to mold that area, generally I stir the substrate up to check for mold and give it air though, it is a little tough to keep their humidity high enough without covering vents and stuff though, just make sure the air doesn't become stagnant and it should be fine.

So i should be good then opening the enclosure daily to get some circulation?

I've had BRB's for quite some time now and I never keep the enclosures wet- they're in a 2 x 4 RBI cage with a large water bin - the humidity stays just right!
DON'T over do it with the humidity!
