Hey, I'm Stephanie from Tye-Dye, I guess Tye-Dyed Iguana. It's nice to say Tye-Dye, um, so today I'm going to show you
guys how to set up the Micro Habitat. It's the terrestrial one, so that means it's long and flat,
it's not going to be tall. So, a species that hangs out on the ground is gonna work perfect
in there. Let me show you guys exactly what comes with it, these are things that we do carry
and sell in store or you can buy online. Obviously your instructions, make sure it says terrestrial.
Then it comes with your base, so this is gonna be the bottom of your tank. Has Zilla on the front,
so you can always stick it this way, or long ways, whichever way you want it to go. And then it has the front,
and you will know that this is the front side because it has the spot for the locks, for the lock
to go on, which this is the lock piece that's gonna go on there. We have the back. We have two sides.
And then we have the top, which is your hinge door, which is, will go through. You want to make sure this is
at the front, because that's where your lock will go through. One important thing is, so if you look
at the pieces they look kind of opaque. The big thing is, is each of these have a protective
film that's on them, that you have to take off. So it takes a minute to get it started, then once it
gets started it's pretty easy. So it's on both sides of every single piece. So peel that off.
Then that way you can see the difference now with them. I know someone was concerned about the
look, but just gotta remove all all those films. So let me do that real quick. And then also, I forgot,
it comes with all these little rubber, like like rubber bands, or they're more of like a
silicone band, and that's what's going to attach on the little hooks as we do that. And the base
does not come with the clear sheets on them that you have to peel off, just the panels do.
We will have this set up in our store with some beetles in it for you guys, to see it
on display. All right, so all of those pieces are off. So we're going to start by attaching
the back, which is the one that doesn't have the holes for the hooks, or the locks, so the
back. Which is just going to slide right on to the back there. Take your rubber, silicone band.
And they're just gonna hold it in place.
And then you're going to take your sides. So your sides, you'll see they have the little locking
pieces. You're gonna want to make sure that the little, so like this one has like where it can slide
down in it, versus the complete circle. You want that in the front of the terrarium, in
front of the habitat, that way the locking top can slide into it. So you're just gonna line all those up.
You can do one at a time, but I'm gonna do both. So just attach your silicone bands.
So now we have left is the front, which is going to slide into the little
notches, which you can put it on there before you attach it
otherwise it's pretty flexible. And it pops in. Silicone band those.
And then, so we have the little locking mechanism that goes on here, and this one you're going to,
it's going to attach into this, you're going to push it in, and it's going to tell you, on the, on
each front panel it'll tell you like locking part for. Like this is the front that has to, because it
can't go in on the backside, just the way the hole's cut. So, then it can rotate that way up into the top.
So once you have the top, it's going to pop into the back so it can slide forward and back there.
So when you do it though, you're going to slide it forward so it can lock into place down here, and
then it slides in. Then this is where the lock can go up, and then locks down.
I know some people were confused on how to actually open them. So to open it, you just slide it forward.
It opens that way, so it doesn't come off all the way.
So pretty simple, to set up and put together.
