21°Night

One ambient band, 25–28°C, dropping to 21°C at night. Same scale on every sheet here, so two species compare by eye.

The sheet statesambient 25-28 °C / night 21 °C

Diet
Bird eggs such as canary, quail or budgerigar eggs; continuous access to appropriately sized eggs must be assured

Day

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

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 ».

The sheet statesMinimum 120 x 50 x 50 cm with loose diggable substrate, hides and climbing structures

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.

What it needs

Every line above is deduced from a value this sheet states, and names which one. Nothing here is a general recommendation.

National law is not global, and we hold no national wildlife law for any country, Thailand included. Check your own authority before buying or selling.

This sheet states 6 of 7 of the fields this product runs on. What is missing turns something off: day/night engine and awake count on the globe. We show the gap rather than fill it with a plausible number.

UVB is measured but does not count: it is absent from 420 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.
