Hi everyone,
I'm a new T owner and I've had my G. Rosea about 2 weeks. I bought her one of those half log bark hides for her enclosure but after about a week I noticed some white and green growing on it. I put the hide in the sun for a day hoping to bake the mold off and then placed it back into the dry enclosure. After another week, more of the white patches showed up and I attempted to scrape it off. I kind of did a number on the hide and a lot of the bark has come off, revealing this slightly powdery red stuff beneath it (pics attached). Is this pine extract? Was there ever mold to being with? And most importantly, can I put this back in the enclosure or should I just get a new hide?
I want to do the best I can as an owner so any advice is appreciated. Thanks so much!
(I've attached a photo of her setup, the hide before and after I scraped bark off)
