ProRep Hatchling Snake Starter Kit

This kit is best suited for hatchling terrestrial snakes with moderate temperature requirements. Some species may require higher humidity or specialized lighting not included in this basic setup.

The terrarium is designed for hatchlings. As your snake grows, you will need to upgrade to a larger enclosure to accommodate its adult size.

The plastic terrarium can be cleaned with warm water and a reptile-safe disinfectant. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the plastic.

The thermostat probe should be placed directly on the substrate surface, in the center of the area heated by the heat mat, to accurately measure the basking temperature.

All components are designed to work together for optimal environmental control. However, if you have specific species requirements or existing equipment, you may adapt the setup accordingly.

Yes, you can replace the included substrate with one that better suits your snake's specific needs (e.g., for humidity retention or burrowing), provided it is safe for reptiles.

Adjust the thermostat setting. Ensure the thermostat probe is correctly placed on the substrate above the heat mat and not obstructed. Verify the heat mat wattage is appropriate for the terrarium size.

Ensure the hide is appropriately sized for the snake and placed in a secure location within the terrarium. Reduce handling if the snake seems stressed.

Check all power connections to the heat mat and thermostat. Ensure the thermostat is functioning correctly by testing it with another heat source if possible. Check the heat mat for damage.

Adjust substrate moisture by adding or removing small amounts of water, or by increasing/decreasing ventilation. For excessively wet substrate, consider replacing it entirely and ensuring better ventilation.
