The numbers

Thermal gradient

152025303540 °C
26–28°Cool side
30°Warm side

A real gradient, 30°C warm against 26–28°C cool, so the animal chooses. The sheet states no separate night figure.

Why

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

The sheet stateswarm 30 °C / cool 26-28 °C

UVB

5%required

The sheet statesWe would recommend using a 5% UVB light with a reflector to direct all the rays down towards the animals.

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. exotic-pets.co.uk

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 states40 x 30 x 30 cm for a trio of adults (1 male, 2 females); a UK care sheet separately recommends minimum 2 ft length for a sexed pair

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.

Food

Diet

Feeding rhythm

every 7 dAs an adult
4Meals 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 statesroaches and crickets form the bulk of the diet, occasional firebrats (fast-moving prey preferred); adults fed twice weekly, food dusted with calcium/vitamin supplement

This sheet states 5 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. 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.
