Getting a pygmy!!!

[seanUTD]

So I have two panthers and the fiancé have decided its time to get another and we have settled on something that stays "wittle" as the fiancé has put it haha... Unfortunately all I know about pygmy's is that they live in living terrariums and can do with little UVB so please I need advice, I need feedback and tips and a good caresheet as I'm not in the business of providing "suitable" care... I wan't to spoil the little one.

Here is how I did the bottom:

bottom- hydroballs
screen
2nd layer- charcoal
screen
top layer- sand, organic potting soil, and repti bed(coconut fiber soaked)

After that you can pick from a ton of safe live plants or use fake or mix of the two. don't worry about leaf litter these little ones only go down really to lay eggs or catch a feeder that got away. Mexican beach pebbles and live terrarium moss adds a nice touch, and the moss helps maintain humidity too.
