Pygmy Q
I have a 31wX12dX30t glass terrarium. It is a 20 gal and I was wondering if that would be ok for 2 brevs. I am also building a 1'wX1'dX2't screen cage if that would be better.
Thanks |

No screen-the tank is what you need! However people have cautioned me against the tall tanks as they do not dry out well.

Perfect! You could put like 1:3 in something like that or even 2:4.

Good
![]() And I have an old 5.0 UVB. This will be fine, right? No basking light required, correct? That is what I have read. The only other thing that I am worried about is that my terrarium is kind of short (13"). I have some small live plants that I think are already to big. I don't know what to do about that. Oh One more thing. Can I mist them with a spray bottle that has a misty feature or do I have to use a real reptile mister. Thanks |

I only keep mine on for a couple hours a day. They live on the forest floor, so not much light gets down there. Like I said, "they live on the forest floor", so height isnt really an issue. Hand spray bottle is fine. Quote:
Cork has a natural ability to repel mold and mildew. That is the only reson why I would think it is used. Dont forget the hydroton! This stuff will save your butt! |

Old 5.0 will be fine. I use a spray bottle I got at the drug store-works great! Cut the plants down or buy small plants! Pothos are excellent-they will fill the entire cage. I don't use cork-but I do use hydroton.

I have a 5.0 and they are fine. I used Hydroton!!! I remember that disscussion with me and a few members on the forum. Also I don't use cork because I felt it wasn't needed for the enclosure. Plus like Justin said, many people don' use it.
