Setup

The numbers

Thermal gradient

152025303540 °C
32°Cool side
45°Warm side
27°Night

Day: a real gradient, 45°C warm against 32°C cool, so the animal chooses. Night: 27°C.

Why

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

The sheet stateswarm 45 °C / cool 32 °C / night 27 °C

Humidity

30–60%Target RH

The sheet statesHumidity level is maintained at 30-60% with light double spraying (morning and evening) during the day.

UVB

Requiredrequired

The sheet statesZoo Med 5 UVB lamp is used during breeding season for 12-14 hours per day (9:00-23:00); during winter dormancy – for 4 - 6 hours per day.

Diet
The diet consists of house crickets ( Acheta domesticus ), Jamaican field crickets ( Gryllus assimilis ), two-spotted crickets ( Gryllus bimaculatus ) and Turkestan cockroaches ( Blatta lateralis ) of appropriate size (5-6 insects per head).

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. bion.com.ua

Day

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

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 statesminimum 40 x 60 x 40 cm terrarium, larger preferred (genus-level guidance, congener P. mystaceus - no species-specific data exists)Measured on Phrynocephalus mystaceus, not on this species

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.

Every line above is deduced from a value this sheet states, and names which one. Nothing here is a general recommendation.

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.
