FAQs

What size vivarium should I choose?

The vivarium size should be appropriate for your reptile species' adult size. Research the space requirements for your specific pet to ensure they have enough room.

What is the best way to clean the glass doors?

Use a reptile-safe glass cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the glass doors. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch the surface.

How often should I replace the substrate?

The frequency of substrate replacement depends on the type of substrate and your reptile's waste output. Generally, replace it every few weeks, or more frequently if needed, to maintain a clean and healthy environment.

Are the OneFix connectors easy to replace if damaged?

Yes, OneFix connectors are designed to be easily replaceable. Contact the manufacturer or your retailer for replacements if necessary.

Can I stack different sized Vivexotic vivariums?

It is best to stack only those vivariums that are designed to be stacked, following the manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure that the stack is stable and secure.

What type of lighting is recommended?

The type of lighting will depend on your reptile species' needs. Research the lighting requirements for your specific pet, typically including UVB and heat lamps.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Contact the manufacturer or your retailer for replacement parts.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty assembling the vivarium.

Double-check the instructions and ensure that the OneFix connectors are properly aligned. If necessary, slightly loosen the screws and try again.

Humidity levels are too high.

Improve ventilation by adjusting vent placement, and consider using a dehumidifier if needed. Reduce the amount of water in the enclosure.

Temperature is not being maintained.

Verify that your heating equipment is functioning correctly. Check thermostat settings and reposition heat sources as necessary.

Doors are sticking or difficult to slide.

Ensure the tracks are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of reptile-safe lubricant to the tracks if necessary.
