I will have two pymies in a 10 gallon tank. Can anyone recommend a hood/light system that would not be too intense. I was also like advice on safe ways to heat the tank at night.

Just use a standard hinged screen top with a light fixture that can handle an 18" repti-sun 2.0 or a used 5.0 if you have one laying around.
I personally wouldnt heat a 10g at night or during the day. That's a small tank and adding a heat source to it can be dangerous for pygmies. Its perfectly fine for night time temps to drop into the low 60's(F) - they can handle it and chams need a night time drop in temps. And the day time temps should be be in the low to mid 70's(f).
