im not quite sure, i dont know much about pygmies but i would call a vet maybe and ask them just to make sure.There's no scientific evidence that I know of unfortunately. There is very little literature on chameleons in general because of lack of funding and interest (by institutions that can fund the research, not necessarily by everyone) in more obscure species especially. Pygmies seem to do fine without UVB but I have seen MBD in a baby even with calcium supplementation. As a species that lives primarily in undergrowth of forests they are exposed to less UVB from sun than normal. So what is usually recommended and has worked for several generations of brevs in my experience is low level UVB.
I am a vet so already done.im not quite sure, i dont know much about pygmies but i would call a vet maybe and ask them just to make sure.
i would say yes. almost every chameleons needs UVB light someway. Mine has a heat lamp (which does not provide it) and another light specifically for UVB and of course his night light
