FAQs

How often should I clean the enclosure?

A partial cleaning should be performed weekly to remove waste. A full cleaning, including replacing the substrate, should be done monthly or as needed.

What type of substrate should I use?

Aspen bedding is a suitable substrate for most hatchling snakes.

What kind of lighting is required?

Hatchling snakes typically do not require specialized lighting. A low-wattage heat bulb is usually sufficient for providing warmth.

How do I monitor the temperature?

Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature within the enclosure. Place the thermometer in a position where it can accurately reflect the temperature.

How do I monitor humidity?

Use a hygrometer to monitor the humidity levels within the enclosure. Keep the humidity within the recommended range for the snake species.

What should I do if my snake is shedding?

Ensure the humidity levels are correct and provide a humid hide for your snake to assist with shedding.

What are the dimensions of the enclosure?

The kit's dimensions vary, so consult the product specifications or the product packaging.

What is the warranty on the kit?

Warranty information is generally provided with the product. Consult the included documentation or the retailer for details.

Troubleshooting

Check the heating equipment and adjust the settings to increase the temperature. Ensure the heating element is working properly.

Humidity levels too low.

Increase humidity by misting the enclosure with water. Make sure to monitor the humidity and regulate as needed.
