Instructions
Clean the aquarium with hot water, but without any soap. Towel it dry.
Remove the elf-adhesive reptile heading pad from the box. Peel off the backing and stick to the bottom of your tank on the outside. It does notgo in with the snake. The pad should fit only one half of the tank or less.
Put in python-safe bedding, which can be newspaper, sand, astroturf, vinyl tile, terrarium carpet liners, aspen bedding or Sani-Chips.
Place in a hide box, driftwood, rocks and water bowl.
Rearrange the haitat, if necessary.
Put on the lid. On top of that lid, place on a brick or other weight to keep python from pushing the lid off.
Place the UVB bulb in your UVB reptile heating lamp and place it on the side of the cage without the heating pad. This light never goes off.
