Pygmy Room ...

A good look at my operation ...


Right hand side:

Right side of the pygmy room. Note the 2 fans at different heights to circulate air in the tanks on each level of the racks. Also note the humidifier with pool hose in front of the top fan. It circulates air and humidity.

Waw.Beautiful terariums...
Cuz i'm making a terarium for a pygmy too, i have a cuple of questions.

How do you make the right temperature?
Don't they hide if it's too bright?
Don't ficus benjamin rots in that humidity?

It looks wonderful! I really like the idea of having one room full of chameleons

What an amazing room roo. A lot of time and effort has gone into your pygmy room.

In the winter I just use the thermostat in the room. That in conjunction with the low wattage heat bulbs gets the room around 70-71F and slightly warmer in the tanks. So that’s ideal and it took a little practice to maintain those temps. In the summer I don’t use the basking lamps and have an air conditioner that I run.

The African species don’t mind the light as much and all the enclosures have plenty of spots where they can hide from the light if they choose.

I am confused about the ficus question.
