Hi,

These new branches I just purchased turned moldy within a month of time in my green tree set-up. Do I have to treat the branches in some way to avoid them from molding up again. I was planning on dunking them in a bleach water solution to kill what has grown on them as of now. How can I prevent this?

Hi Ralph,
The only thing you can do is to increase your ventilation,to have sufficient air flow to prevent the growth of mold,in a high humidity enclosure.I use to use wooden dowl rod in my A.T.B. enclosure's,and switched over to PVC perch's because of mold,i also run a fan 24 & 7 in my snake room, there's a fine line in keeping high humidity and also providing adequate ventilation. Good Luck !
Have A Good One ! !
