I have an Eco-terra with a zilla combo dome hood with a 50 watt hallogen heat bulb and a flourescentbulb around that. Then the highest branch is about 5 to 6 in. Away from the light. I thought I'm support to have a light on them?

On Pygmies you should have no heat lamp unless the temps drop real low, and then you would only need something small to not have them freeze. For UVb you should have something no higher than a 2.0. What are you keeping her in? With that lighting it is amazing you didn't cook her. Do you have a thermometer in there? Temps should be in the low 70's.

Howdy,
We need to know more about the UVB source. If the fluorescent UVB tube is also made by Zilla then there is a possibility that it may be one of their dangerous models (UVB burns) that was pulled off the market and refunds made. tell us the exact make/model of that UVB tube.
