Hey so with all the talk about pygmy vivs and enclosures, i thought i would share a few of mine. I've had great success with this type of setup over the years. Plenty of leaf litter, twigs, vines, live vegetation and Shady spots.
The first picture I have one male and one female housed in. (I have a bunch of them all very similar) It is an 18x18x24 exoterra. Perfect for keeping the humidity up and still having enough height to get a temperature gradient. The top of my tank never reaches more than 76 and the bottom of my tanks are closer to 67. I have a dual light fixture on top with t5ho 6% arcadia, and a 6500k.
The second picture is of a grow out tank for baby brevs. It is an exoterra nano vivarium that is 8x8x12. They work perfect for baby pygmys as they get lost very easily in a larger viv. They can find and hunt food very easily, and you can put a few hatchlings/neonates in one as long as its heavily planted. Once they get to old enough, they graduate into larger vivs.
The third picture is of one of my female brevs who is on day 26 of her gestation. She will be ready to lay any day now. You can really see in this pic, how large their stomach distend with just a few eggs in their bellys.
Hope you enjoy!
