Re: Moss on driftwoof?
Moss and mold are different things. Moss is a plant, mold is a fungi. They grow under different conditions and in a terrarium I would normally assume it's mold and not moss. Usually if people have moss it's because they've grown it intentionally.
Whether to be worried about mold depends on the type of mold. Anything black I would definitely toss just to be safe. Green on wood I leave in as it will get spent eventually. Quite often the green stuff on wood is accompanied by a flat mat of white mold as well which I also leave. If there's white mold that grows with strands sticking out or little knobs all over I'd get rid of it, though. And any green mold that isn't on wood I would promptly remove. Also any mold growing on substrate I'd get rid of as it can take over the terrarium. Basically it's just the smooth white and green stuff that grows on driftwood that I keep.
