I bought a moss ball from petsmart in those little grab and go containers by the bettas. It was (to my knowledge) never kept with other fish. It's been in quarantine for 3 days now, and I picked it up to look at it, and I noticed there are some little yellow blob thingies on the outside of the moss ball... I'm not sure if this is a part of the moss ball or something else? :confused: Thanks!

What is the texture of the blob? Could it be some kind of substrate, like gravel, from before it was packed?
 
It's hard, but see through and clear/yellowy. Now that you mention it, it definitely seems like some sort of substrate! Thanks!
Another question, how long should you quarantine the moss ball, since it was alone?
 
Glad that is all it is! I would quarantine for a week or two. I would usually do a week unless it was kept with fish :)

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
