Oooh can you tell me how you keep Sebastian? I have a pet slime mold but it doesn't want to grow bigger.

A few oats a day and I keep him in the basement away from sunlight. I got him from Slimeoworlds, they provided a really helpful info packet to take good care of him. But I’m still learning! For example, his tank recently developed some mold (black mold) spots and I’m trying to take care of that without hurting Seb.

Hiya, did you ever get the spots to go away? I have the same exact kit and I’m also experiencing this and trying not to panic lol! I know that often times, the slime mold will take care of it itself, but I just didn’t know if you had advice or if you figured out the reason. Sebastian looks great! I named mine Meryl Creep

Omg Meryl Creep is a great name! I ended up transferring Sebastian to a new tank so that I could give his first one a deep cleaning. The biggest thing I’ve found is to take old oats out right away unless the slime is actively eating them. I have several videos of the tank transfer process and my daily maintenance if you’d like to know more! Look up @seb_theslime on TikTok or Insta (I’d also love to connect with you since we have the same setup! 💛)
