Black-headed Python

Aspidites melanocephalus

Traceable. The figures above appear in the page we cite, which we opened on 10 Aug 2026. That means you can check them, not that we have confirmed they are right. static1.squarespace.com

Drag the sun. The sheet states a night temperature, so the rail follows it.

Day: a real gradient, 35–40°C warm against 24–27°C cool, so the animal chooses. Night: 21°C.

Why

Same scale on every sheet here, so two species compare by eye.

Drawn from the stated numbers. Only what the sheet states is drawn inside.

Why

The rectangle carries the exact width-to-height ratio of the figures above it, and the ruler under it places that width on the 0–250 cm scale every sheet here shares, so two species still compare at a glance. Nothing is added that the sheet does not name: a lamp drawn on a sheet that never mentions one would be invented equipment. What the sheet leaves out is listed rather than left blank, because an empty tank reads as « none needed ».

What your climate adds

This sheet states a range to hold. Your local climate decides how much work holding it is. Pick the nearest city: nothing is sent anywhere, the choice stays in this browser.

อาหาร

Feeding rhythm

every 14–21 dAs an adult
2Meals in 28 days

Twenty-eight days, one row. Each band is a meal window. The sheet gives several ages on one line; this is the adult figure.

Why

The windows widen as they go because the interval is a range: four meals after a 10–14 day cycle land anywhere between day 40 and day 56.

The sheet stateswhole prey such as rodents. All items fed MUST be dead.; around 10% of their body weight weekly for juveniles & every 2-3 weeks for adults

คำถามที่พบบ่อย EN

How big does it get?

A solid snake, often over two metres and quite heavy, but manageable for one experienced person.

Is it aggressive?

Not towards people. Most are calm and inquisitive to handle, but they have a strong feeding strike so use a hook to lift them out.

Can I house it with anything else?

No. In the wild it specialises in eating other reptiles, so it lives alone, always.

Does it need a basking light?

It uses belly heat more than overhead heat, so a good warm floor zone on a thermostat plus a hide directly over it works well.

This sheet states 4 of 7 of the fields this product runs on. What is missing turns something off: humidity instrument and audit, day/night engine and awake count on the globe, the diet section. We show the gap rather than fill it with a plausible number.

UVB is measured but does not count: it is absent from 421 of 678 sheets, and on most of them that is not a gap, since a nocturnal snake's sheet has no reason to state a UV index. Counting it would call the library incomplete without cause.
