How many bearded pygmies can I keep in a 12x12x18 inch Exo Terra? What kind of plants?? What type of light?etc.. Thanks :)
 
iv heard you can put 3 in but i think thats too many, I would have 2 max. take a look at the safe plant list on here, although most pygmy dont eat plants so i just put in what ever plants are tropical and look good. get a 2.0 UV light, if your exo terra came with the compact hood, get a 2.0 repti-glo 13w. it will be more than enough for the size of the tank. get plenty of thin branches/twigs as they love to climb on things and hide in plants. dont get a heat source like a mat etc as they dont need them.

hope this helps! - oh yeah, and make sure you have a drainage layer of Hydroleca at the bottom of the tank seperated by some weed guard, then your soil. your soil should be at least 3-4 inches deep incase you get gravid females.
