I've tried adding more air holes, I've tried keeping the bedding completely dry and just spraying a little, I've tried getting a larger flexwatt to increase the area that's heated so maybe more will evaporate...nothing's worked for me. I'll probably see mold all the time until I start heating him with an RHP in his adult enclosure, which should dry out the bedding before it starts molding.
Are you using the sphangum moss just in the hides or all over? I agree with Albert, I have my CRB on cypress mulch for substrate, moss in hides, misting system that automatically goes on when humidity drops to 90%, (she's in a modified aquarium until she's big enough for her adult pvc enclosure)and I've never had mold anywhere since switching to that setup. Also never had anything other than full sheds with eyecaps. The cypress resists mold really well. Thumbs-up recommend.
