like the backgrounds for hermit crabs? i've used it before in a 10g pygmy tank before. they look quite nice, but i really wouldn't say they do much for humidity. only live plants IMHO help keep in ambient humidity

Yes, the ones that are advertised for hermit crabs. So, no ill effects to your pygmy's I assume? Thank you for your response.

nope, no complications at all. my pygmy loved to climb on it as well.

I think he/she is kidding
That's what I was thinking. If you're trying to maintain humidity in a screen cage a better option would be plastic shower curtain liner on the outside of some of the cage sides. It's clean, cheap and effective!
Armstrong Garden Center sells these for $3 per sq foot. I'm sure other garden centers have them as well.
I have seen these used in place of the foam/kitty litter fake backgrounds that many make as well. At first they don't look as nice, but they work just as well at retaining moisture and allowing epiphytes to grow off it or vines to climb it.
