I have recently been having problems with mold in my fire bellied toads tank. I have changed the substrate and the mold came right back. The mold even grew on my toads head. What can I do to stop the mold from coming back without harming him and is there anyway to clean it off of him?

Sounds like you may need a little more ventilation. I'd do a full clean out, then provide more ventilation in the lid if you can.
What kind of tank are they in? Post some pics of the mould if you can, may be something more to it.

Thanks! I used to have a 5 gallon plastic tank. I decided right after I posted for the first time to throw everything out and get new stuff in hopes of getting rid of the mold issue. If it comes back up again then I will take a picture and post it but for now everything is cleared up. The new tank does have more ventilation so hopefully you are right and I won't have a problem anymore.
