Those terrariums are solely designed to suit reptile and amphibians breeding. Herptek terrariums are built with anti uv animal toxic free high density polyethylene. That material will melt down if exposed to a temperature exceeding 80 celsius degrees. It is imperative to follow installation and assembly instructions.
Installation guide :
For the well being of animals, place the terrariums in a steady temperature environment (between 20 and 25°C) Clean up the terrarium with a sponge and disinfectant before first use in order to remove dust. If you pile up several terrariums, make sure:
To do it on a steady and levelled ground Not to place the terrarium in contact with an external heating source such as radiator or direct exposure to sun That all heating appliances are properly installed and controlled via a thermostat
Windows assembly :
Place the first window in the back rail of the top slide then lock the window in the back rail of the bottom slide. Slide the window to the right until touching the side frame of the terrarium. Make sure that the sliding rails are free of any mater that would prevent the terrarium from locking properly. To avoid animal escaping, the use of rubber locks on the sliding doors is imperative.
