I'm using cococoir and sterilised topsoil. Unfortunately I threw the mold away so no pictures but it looks like this.https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2763/4312712342_c70f4ce144.jpg. It was a very tiny amount that I must say would be very hard to spot if you didn't know what too look for. Ironically I've found out that the piece of grape wood in my crested geckos enclosure is also molding. I know there could be a chance of cross contamination but I'm always incredibly carefull and I sanitize. I use this hand. sanitizer https://www.bluelizardreptiles.co.uk/reptilecleaning/handwashing/5027407011656
I don't understand how this happened as I recently completely changed the substrate and never had this problem before. I did find mold on the half log that I used which was the reason why I changed the substrate just to be safe. I also sanitized the enclosure with reptile handwipes and spray. I used this spray https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Reptiles...&qid=1500542010&sr=8-1&keywords=reptile+spray
One reason I can think of why mold grew is because the enclosure has been quite damp and not dried completely and I kept misting it to keep the humidity up.
I have a lot of springtails left over. Should I add them? Also will the white mold be harmful to my tortoise.

Oh I also found mold under a spider plant. I bought them from a reptile shop.
