Setup
The numbers
Temperature
The sheet gives a night figure only: 21–24°C. No daytime range is stated.
Why
Same scale on every sheet here, so two species compare by eye.
The sheet statesnight 21-24 °C
Drag the sun. The sheet states a night temperature, so the rail follows it.
Enclosure and conditions
What it needs
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.
The species
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.
Questions & sources
Common questions
Why is this kingsnake more expensive?
It is a slower breeder with a lot of variation in pattern, and desirable localities and patterns always sell for more.
Will I see it during the day?
Not often. It is nocturnal and likes to wedge into rock crevices, so give it tight hides and expect evening activity.
Are they difficult to feed?
Hatchlings can be picky and sometimes prefer lizards at first. Always buy one with an established feeding record on rodents.
Can I keep two together?
No. Like all kingsnakes, it may eat another snake. House them separately, always.

What this sheet states
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.
