So I just saw one egg in the Pygmy cage. The last time she laid I didn't find them till they had gone bad, and molded. I assume it is best to remove and incubate? Can you steer me in the direction of correct medium to incubate in. Temp I assume is 75 degrees? Karen

Thank you! Created another set-up for the now single male....

These four pygmys arrived today. Was supposed to get 3 females and one male. Not so sure. Can you please advise? Thank you! Karen

Well, my next (and last) shipment of Pymy's have arrived. 4 total, and is supposed to be 3 females and one male. A friends is taking the male and one female so I'm hoping that I have this right! Can you please advise? My thoughts: 1 Female (maybe Gravid?) 2. Not so sure... 3. Female 4...

Yes, I set-up a quarantine tank today. The new female actually won't arrive until next week now. Gives the one guy in the tank now some time to settle in. Crossing my fingers that all will do well....

I am very sad to say the little guy died last night. He was housed with another male, and perhaps that was the issue. Not sure I'll ever know. A female arrives tomorrow to join the remaining male. I'll keep a close eye on them both. Added one more light to get one side of the 20g tank into the...

Thanks, the advice is good and I may consider another enclosure...

Since one of my new Brevi's looks quite ill, I want to do a quick check on the enclosure since I have females arriving tomorrow. 20g tank, live plants, sticks. Substrate of clay pebble/charcoal with organis soil on top and then1/2 covered with moss. 2 lights: 1 is UVB and the other a...

He is pretty grave at this point. He fell off his branch and I immediately moved him to a small box with some moss in there and into another room. He was with another male, but I had never seem them pay attention to each other at all. He is laying on his side. SO SAD. I did give him a drop of...

Additional info on sick Pygmy Some additional info on the above Pygmy: Enclosre: 20 gal aquarium, substrate is clay pebbles, charcoal, then organic soil (mesh between layers). Live plants, mostly ferns. Lots of climbing sticks. Some moss Lights: One UVB and one Day Bulb Temp: hovering around...

I think of of my two new Pygmy's mighty be sick. They arrives just about a week ago and ate a few crickets that first day. One is now very lethargic, low to the ground, seems weak and his color is dark. I have the terrarium at 70 degrees and wonder if I should warm it up a bit? Looking for a vet...

Well, I have another package due to arrive on Tuesday with what are supposed to be females! I will post those picture then to make sure! Thanks

Posting two more pics. I still think I have two males but I want to be as sure as I can, since I am ordering females next week! Thoughts?

I will take a few more pictures today. This means I will need to get at least 2 more females. I purchased through Backwater Reptiles. Anyone have experience with them? Might go to FL Chams next unless anyone has a better source.

My precious pygmys are here! Looking for confirmation on sex (they are supposed to be a pair). I am seeing pic A as being male, and pic B as female. Neither photo is particularly good for these purposes, but I didn't want to stress them too much on their arrival yesterday. They did eat a few...
