    My two little boys were given a whites tree frog by a person that did not want to raise it anymore. We set up a nice tank for the frog, but now we have white fuzzy mold growing on the moss in the tank. We used Flukers Moss to set up. We have an Exterra Light for the tank, and we only have the light on about 10 hours a day. The temp ranges from 75-80 degrees. We have been misting the tank, and we have a good lid on the tank, only two holes in the lid about two inches across, which we have covered with screen for ventilation.
    Rocks in the bottom of the tank about 1 1/2 inches deep and then potting soil about 1 1/2 inches deep, then moss. The only water source in the tank is a small bowl(looks like a rock) that the frog likes to sit in and drink from. Are we misting too much, is the temp too high?
    Just a momma trying to save a froggie with her little boys. Any help would be appreciated.
