    Default new to pygmys

    i need some help with an enclosure desighn i am getting a pair or trio i cant decide which i want to get a pair at least so i can breed them but i have read that just a male and a female that the male will over do it with one female? but my main issue is i dont know what kind of plants ficus get to big for that and i am kind of lost i have some ideas but i thought i could use the help of some experts since i dont know of any major pygmy owners up hear in minnesota. any ideas of where to get some other pygmy species close to home for me through shows or breeder i have also looked on line but not vary succesful fl chams is the best i have seen so far.

    if any budy out there could help me with plants for my 12''x12''x18'' exo terra terrarium i really need some help with plants i thought of using ficus benjamina but i thought that it woud get to big and then i thought of using a creeping fig but i heard that that spreads and will choke every thing out. and i need some help on how many bearded pygmys i can get in there comfortably i am hoping it is big enough for a trio? i am a first timer in pygmys and this is quite differant from my jackson that i had. any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I would go with two for that size but it should do i have three in an 18x18x18 and they seem to be doing ok and i have a ficus in my set up and it to is doing well i also have a mimi palm and make that two ficus plants. What are you useing as a base layer in your setup i have clay balls screen a mix of eco-earth and plantation soil in mine works good i also added sprintails as well.
