Mold in scorpion enclosure

[Conor10]

My Asian forest scorpion has some weird green mold growing in her enclosure. I have bought a cup of springtails and mixed them into the substrate, I hope they work because the mold is nasty. Is this mold also harmful to the scorpion?

It's not normally harmful to them in small amounts, just pick the moulded substrate out and put some springtails in that general area and they will take care of any you missed, they really do work very well

Ok thank you the springtails are munching on it now, I have considered adding some isopods could they harm a molting scorpion? I am looking into bioactive enclosures for my inverts, I‘m hopeing to add some live plants into my enclosures soon.

Depends on the size but I have heard of them eating moulting scorpions, tbh they are not really needed if you have enough springtails

Ok thank you I will stick to the springtails then

I added springtails a month ago and it has prevent any noticeable mold. Never going back
