Repti Planet Mini Glass Reptile Habitats are wonderful little, well-ventilated terrariums, which can also hold a small amount of water if required. They are suitable for respective sized reptiles, amphibians, snakes, invertebrates, small mammals, and other similar creatures. Design: • Equipped with upper and lower plastic frames, to allows stacking and placing of heating mats directly underneath. • Can hold water making it suitable for use as a paludarium. • For feeding and handling, the entire top of the terrarium can be removed. Ventilation: • Metallic mesh cover provides appropriate ventilation and prevents creatures/live food escaping. • Cover fits securely without fear of spontaneous opening (locking catch clicks automatically when the top cover is fully closed). Locating the terrarium: • Choose the location of the terrarium carefully, as once it is set up with the technical equipment and décor, it should not be moved. • It is best to place where the ambient temperature is between 20-25°C. • Place in an area with natural light, but not in direct sunlight, or anywhere where the terrarium could overheat. • Avoid places where chemical or other fumes, and where cigarette smoke/vaping occurs. • Once a suitable location has been chosen you can begin installing technical equipment plants, and other decorations. Installation of the terrarium: • The package includes instructions for building a terrarium. • Before installation, read the instructions carefully and check that the packaging is complete and undamaged. • Follow the assembly procedure. Installation of equipment inside the terrarium: • When installing technical equipment or decoration inside the terrarium, always switch off any existing devices before putting your hands in there. • Select the appropriate place for the electrical equipment and route the cables to the rear of the terrarium. • Close the ventilation grille to make sure there is no risk of animals escaping. Lighting: • Only use lighting products that are recommended for terrariums, ideally Repti Planet products. • The power of the light should be compatible with the creature and the terrarium size. Too high temperature can result in animal death and product degradation.
