Those aren't wood chips, that's coco fiber, that's all I could find at my LPS.i would think that you should remove the bark chips and go with a peat moss/ coco fiber substrate. While you are redoing the tank, you really should turn that tank on its' end for an arboreal. Increase ventilation, hold off on the misting and make sure there is a large water dish that is always full. We mist the web of our Avics and they will drink directly from the web too. Cork bark works much better in humid tanks. You could also obtain some isopods. We have them in our humid loving species' tanks and what little mold that turned up was quickly taken care of.
I know I should turn the tank on it's end, but I don't have the money yet to make a lid for it.
The dish always has water in it, and this is a new avic, so he hasn't made much webbing yet.
And the isopods...I dunno. My parents barely approved of me having a T, so I think they'll put their feet down on that one.
