Anyone know an easy way to get rid of mold on cork bark ???
I just had a look at my versicolors enclosure and its got a fair amount of mold on parts of the cork bark. unfortunately i dint expect this to happen and have glued the bark into the tank (its a shelf that the water bowl sits on and provides a good lil hiding place. anyone know how i can get rid of the mold without tearing the tank apart??????

Dry the tank out a little?
I'd scrub the mould off with an old tooth-brush for the time being, and get some spring-tails in there: no more mould problems.

Whip the versi out, whack up the heat and dry it out.
Other than that, i'd say it needs scrubbing and pressure washing (i use a mega pump mister on jet spray and a floor brush to scrub).

Woodlice are also good... I was going to say "but I don't know if they'd reach a high bark shelf" except I rolled over in bed this morning and espied a woodlouse on my curtain...

Personally I wouldn't be too bothered about a little mould but you might want to reduce the moisture and increase the ventilation. Any chance of pix?

From my own experience I would strongly back the woodlice idea. You can try scrubbing off the mould if you can reach it but it'll probably just come back. I would drop a few woodlice in there (I usually pick a size that looks just that little bit too small for the T to bother eating) and they will eat all the mould for you. They will also eat all the food boluses too...
