At the moment, I have a pair of large blizzard corns in a 55gallon. At both ends of the tank are hideboxes, one end has an empty cereal box and the other has a plastic shoebox with a hole in it. In the shoebox is semi-damp moss (not even near soaking, just damp and nothing else), in the other is nothing. The tank is warm and not very humid, but I kid you not, I am starting to have a horrible problem with mold. The substrate is newspaper, which is changed out every other day at this point (and I've replaced the cereal boxes several times now). Within 24 hours of changing it out though, a white, fluffy mold starts to grow. Same with inside the hideboxes and it's driving me nuts. I've tried sterilizing, changing the temperature, everything. Despite the lack of humidity (with the exception of the shoebox) this stuff is growing at a pace that's driving me nuts. I've since then moved the snakes into a temporary enclosure while trying to figure out what to do about this problem. If anyone knows what I should do, it'd be appreciated immensely.

Hullo!
It's growing both in the shoebox and on the paper, the shoebox seems to get a lot more a lot faster though. I've tried paper towels before as well, and the same thing seemed to happen, so I switched back to newspaper. The heating is from bulbs, there's not really a way I can install an UTH on this set up (though, if it's absolutely necessary, I can try to make some changes).
Also, your avatar is adorable!
