We’re so excited you’ve received your Focus Cubed Habitats Bearded Dragon Kit. Now time to assemble!
To keep it simple – line up the numbered stickers, starting with joint “1” and ending with joint “6”, screw together using a #2 Phillips driver, remove vinyl alignment stickers, seal substrate area if preferred. Done!
But in all seriousness, we’ve made sure assembly is minimal so you can get to enjoying as soon as possible. Screws need a #2 Phillips screwdriver. If you have one – an electric drill speeds up the process! PVC is smooth and does not take much effort to slide, so it helps to assemble on a non slick surface.
· Attach left side panel to bottom (floor) panel.
· Line up the numbered stickers for alignment, starting with the “1”. This is your first joint. Use supplied hardware to screw together.
· Attach right-side panel to bottom (floor) panel.
· Line up the “2” sticker for the second joint, check alignment and screw together.
· Once left and right sides are attached to the bottom panel, flip over the assembly where the bottom panel now becomes the (temporary) top.
· Your Arcadia Lamp Holder Pro and Halogen are shipped separately to reduce package size and potential damage to the enclosure in transit. Use the 4 stainless screws to install the Lamp Holder Pro and route cord under preinstalled clips. Slide roof panel between the left and right side panels. Line up the “3” and screw together, then “4” and screw together.
· The inner structure is done, now to the back panel. Place face-down on your work surface where the rear of the enclosure is facing up, route and wires through associated slots, line up the “5” & check alignment, and screw together.
· Helps to start with the top-most left screw and follow an X-pattern moving to bottom right, top right, bottom left, then fill in the rest.
· Last is the front/door panel. Flip the enclosure assembly over where the front is facing you.
· Take the front panel with door installed and line up the “6”, check alignment, and screw together.
· Helps to screw together using the same X-pattern as the back: top left, bottom right, top right, bottom left, fill in the rest.
· Once done attaching panels, remove all stickers, and seal substrate area to stop any liquid or debris from coming out of the seams.
· Follow directions on sealant tube for best results. Allow ample time for strong smell to dissipate before adding your animal.
Please note: The Bearded Dragon kit including Arcadia 35″ 12% UVB and 75w Halogen are for a great average setup. Due to different climates and home temperatures, if more or less heat is needed you may experiment with different wattage bulbs, or move enclosure accessories/substrate to reach the desired temperature. Arcadia Halogen bulbs and Deep Heat lamps should be used with a thermostat to control proper basking temperatures. For any accessory questions please check the Accessory Information page under the FAQ where we link to Arcadia’s info pages!
