I got a brand new 18x18x18 exo terra tank for $60 at work today. I'm pretty excited to set up a viv and get some pygmies in there. I've never kept pygs before, and I'm doing a lot of reading on them, but I was wondering what species (besides brevs) are most common. I probably will end up doing brevs, but I'd like to know what possibilities there may be. Also, if anyone has any pygmies available in the Chicago area, or could direct me to a good supplier, that would be awesome. I'm setting up the viv over spring break - I need to get my midterms out of the way, so that gives me a couple weeks to think about what I might put in there.
Also, I've seen a lot of conflicting information when it comes to what temperature these guys do best at. I know it may vary between species, but in general, what temperature range is best?
Has anyone ever kept orchids in viv with pygmies before? They were listed as cham safe by several sources. I know they don't like water directly on the flower, so I would have to avoid that while misting. Are there any reasons I should keep them with pygs?
