DixieParadise said:I agree with Redstrike on this one. Just keep substrate dry for a few days and apply the cream after cleansing it with the soft toothbrush. It doesn't look too bad..so hopefully you have caught it in time.
Redstrike said:Those extremely small, light-colored areas look to be the start, but it's an extremely mild case. Take a soft bristled toothbrush and some diluted betadine iodine (1 part iodine: ~10 parts water) and lightly clean the affected areas. Since this case looks so mild, I'd say just do the cleaning once (if it were worse, maybe twice). After that apply any clotrimazole anti-fungal cream for 5-7 days and it should be pretty well gone.
If the substrate is constantly wet, you may consider some other options for boosting the humidity while keeping the top surfaces of the enclosure more dry.
