A real gradient, 24–29°C warm against 18–21°C cool, so the animal chooses. The sheet states no separate night figure.

คำถามที่พบบ่อย EN

Can it cope with the heat here?

This is the problem with this species. It comes from cool mountain country and does badly in constant warmth, so you would need a cooled room or unit.

Is it docile?

Famously so. It is one of the gentlest snakes there is and almost never bites, preferring to hide its head and curl up.

Why does it have a tail that looks like a head?

It uses the blunt tail as a decoy to protect the real head while it burrows away. It is a defence trick, not a deformity.

Is it easy to find?

No, they are uncommon in the trade and rarely offered, so availability is the main limitation rather than the price.

Not stated: The size of the enclosurethis sheet describes the enclosure without a figure: « A 40-gallon tank (for a full-grown adult rubber boa) »

Every line above is deduced from a value this sheet states, and names which one. Nothing here is a general recommendation. What the sheet does not state is listed too, rather than left out: a kit that looks complete is worse than one that names its gap.

This sheet states 5 of 7 of the fields this product runs on. What is missing turns something off: 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.
