Setup
The numbers
Thermal gradient
A real gradient, 32°C warm against 22–27°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 32 °C / cool 22-27 °C
Humidity
The sheet states50-75 %
UVB
The sheet statesmust have UVB lighting as part of their setup; Zoo Med T8 Reptisun 5.0 or Arcadia ShadeDweller kit, positioned about 6-11" above the basking branch, replaced every 12 months
Enclosure and conditions
Enclosure
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 statesThe absolute minimum terrarium size for a single rough green snake is 18"L x 18"W x 36"H
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.
Food
Diet
Feeding rhythm
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 statesJuveniles should be fed daily, while adults can be fed 2-3x/week; each feeding should consist of 2-3 insects roughly the same size as the snake's head — dubias, discoids, crickets, black soldier flies, hornworms, silkworms, waxworms, wax moths, millipedes
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
What does it eat?
Insects only. Crickets, soft-bodied worms and spiders. It will never take rodents, so do not buy it expecting that.
Can I handle it?
Barely. It is a fragile, easily stressed snake and handling shortens its life. Buy it to watch.
How long does it live?
Often only 5 to 8 years, and wild-caught ones frequently do worse than that.
Does it bite?
Essentially no. The mouth is tiny and its defence is to freeze and pretend to be a vine.

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.
