Substrate for pygmy habitat?

[nosybecham]

I have a pygmy and a juvenile veiled. I recently learned that it is best not to have substrate for the chameleons as they can ingest the substrate while feeding on crickets..that paper towels are sufficient. Is that the same for pygmys or would they need the substrate to be more at home on the jungle floor? Thanks...........

Pygmies are commonly kept with substrate; I keep mine on coconut bark ("EcoEarth" and "Bed-A-Beast" are two brands); if you have a multiple pygmies, the females will want the substrate to dig in for egg-laying, though I suppose it would be possible to provide them with a laying bin like we do for the larger chams.
