Day

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

CITES II is a global listing and holds in every country. 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.

Day: a real gradient, 28–30°C warm against 24–28°C cool, so the animal chooses. Night: 20–23°C.

Why

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

Humidity

The sheet statesPeacock Day Gecko Humidity Requirements Peacock day geckos do best in a moderate- to high-humidity environment, with an average daytime humidity of 40-75% as measured by a digital probe hygrometer with the probe placed in the middle of the enclosure.; Humidity should be higher at night, with a spike up to near 100%.

UVB

Diet

Feeding rhythm

every 3.5 dAs an adult
8Meals 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 statesHow often peacock day geckos need to eat depends on age: Juveniles (0-6 months) — insects daily, CGD every other day Subadults and Adults ( 6 months) — insects 2x/week, CGD 1x/week Crested gecko diet (CGD) must be offered via a wall-mounted feeding ledge, not placed on the ground.

Not stated: The size of the enclosurethis sheet states no size

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.

What this sheet states

62%
TemperatureHumidityEnclosure sizeActivityOriginDietSourcesUVB

This sheet states 4 of 7 of the fields this product runs on. What is missing turns something off: enclosure size audit, day/night engine and awake count on the globe, the diet section. We show the gap rather than fill it with a plausible number.

UVB is measured but does not count: it is absent from 421 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.
