I keep getting mold in my terrarium, just using a glass and adding soil, sphagnum moss and chunky perlite. How can I make it more efficient?

You need a lid to keep a bug named springtails in. They eat mold.

0개 좋아요You can probably find them online, the only time I ever bought springtails was at my local reptile expo, so I'm not an expert lol
좋아요 1개Try googling Terrarium Tribe. They have springtails and isopods along with other terrarium stuff. I bought some springtails, soil, and moss from them for my terrarium and didn’t have any issues.
