Don't know much about pygmy dragons, but I can say with confidence that you may very well have the best... APS... avatar... ever! Welcome!

You HAVE to have a UVB 10 Fluoro light for your dragons. Without it they may develop Metabolic Bone Disease. You'll also need a basking light for warmth. The wattage depends on the distance from the basking point in the enclosure and the lamp. I use a moon or blue light as the heat source as I have it run on a thermostat that has a timer which drops the temp at night and during the day the fluoro is on so need for more light. This saves on having two lamps. Heat mats aren't necessary for dragons IMO.

I dont use a heat mat for mine they get there heat from the lights.

LOL. Would be cool too if you put a skull cave in their enclosure and a little figurine of The Phantom.

how did you know I am into the Phantom?

 

[richardsc]

dont rely on just a uv bulb,dietry supplementation is of way higher importance in preventing metabolic bone disease,uv lights may be of benefit,but they arent miracle lights

a good book for info on beardys is THE BEARDED DRAGON MANUAL has sections on pygmy beardeds to and also frillies,definatly worth the purchase price,and for the info is quite cheap

also if wife says no to a bearded dragon,then u buy 4 or 5,when they roll eyes u say well u said no to just getting 1

 

[dragonlover1]

I have this stuff so I could do it

Isn't everybody? Greatest comic ever. When my wife and I moved out of our first apartment ten years ago she made me throw out my collection of phantom comics. They weren't in the best nic but but it was a pile 5 ft high. I really regret it now

Didnt think anyone would get the pygmy connection

 

[richardsc]

normally virgins have a 5 foot high pile of different magazines,which may or may not have comic sections,lol
