Anyone Think This Mold Outbreak Requires a Rehouse?

I know that a lot of people tend to overreact to mold outbreaks, but this is easily the worst one I’ve had, and I wanted to see if it would require a rehouse. It takes a lot of time for me to prep enclosures, and this is my C. lividus’ enclosure, so it wouldn’t be too fun for me or her if I rehoused her. And on a side note, the mold is pretty close to the tunnel she’s made. I will rehouse her if necessary, but I’m not sure whether or not I need to, so I’m asking for a 2nd opinion. Thx!

I wouldn't rehouse for this.
I would definitely cut back on the water and try to increase ventilation, though.

You could use a serving spoon to scoop it out if it bothers you.🙂
It won't hurt anything, though it is unsightly.

You can just spot clean it and let it dry out for a little while. It won't harm your spider even though it might be annoying for you to look at!

Unless you have this much of mold problem, you are pretty much okay, and be at ease.

Mold is not a problem regardless, just scoop out those bits. add a little more ventilation, and ease up on the moisture a bit.
