When we went to feed the scorpions today, we noticed this white, powder-like substance that kind of looks like ice crystals. I didn't notice it in there yesterday, it definitely wasn't in there two days ago. No idea what it is or why it's there. That's the only spot that has it. This was the highest point in the enclosure, closest to the lights. Whatever this was was a lot fluffier and lighter looking before we pulled it out of there.
Tank has two emperor scorpions about a year and a half old. (We put a container of isopods in there, but the babies may have eaten them because I haven't seen them in a while.)
Environment is coconut husk, bark, sphagnum moss and all hides are man-made materials.
We have a daylight on for about 8 to 12 hours depending how long we're gone. No night light on this tank. We go between spraying with a bottle and using a humidifier, using purified water for both.
Sometimes we'll see the white fluffy mold in our large tank, but this is the first time we've ever seen this kind. What is it, what causes it, and do we have to redo the entire enclosure now?
