Setup
The numbers
Thermal gradient
Day: a real gradient, 31–32°C warm against 23–26°C cool, so the animal chooses. Night: 20°C.
Why
Same scale on every sheet here, so two species compare by eye.
The sheet stateswarm 31-32 °C / cool 23-26 °C / night 20 °C
UVB
The sheet statesbenefique, non obligatoire
Drag the sun. The sheet states a night temperature, so the rail follows it.
Enclosure and conditions
Enclosure
Drawn from the stated numbers. Seen from above: the sheet gives a footprint and no height.
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 statesat least a minimum of 4ftx 2ft in size for juvenile or adult
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. 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.
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 statesappropriate size defrost rodents — babies every 4-6 days, adults every 7-10 days

Identity
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
How big does it get?
Up to about 2.5 metres. It is the largest rat snake we normally stock, so space is the real cost.
Does it bite?
Juveniles are nippy and it is very food-driven, so use a hook at feeding time. Regular handling calms most of them.
What does it eat?
Rodents, and it is a hearty feeder. Roughly one appropriate meal a week for an adult.
What do I need for it?
A long enclosure with strong climbing branches and a lid that locks. This species tests every gap.

What this sheet states
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.
