Setup
The numbers
Temperature
The cool side, 24–29°C, dropping to 18°C at night. This sheet states the cool side only. It gives no warm side or basking figure, so the hot end is not in our data. Same scale on every sheet here, so two species compare by eye.
The sheet statescool 24-29 °C / night 18 °C
Humidity
The sheet states70-80 %
UVB
The sheet statesZoo Med T8 Reptisun 10.0 — 3-4" above basking branch; Arcadia T5 HO 6% — 4-6" above basking branch
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. dubiaroaches.com
Drag the sun. The sheet states a night temperature, so the rail follows it.
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 statesabsolute minimum 30"L x 12"W x 12"H for a single lizard
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 statesinsects, preferably live; juveniles fed daily, adults every other day, as many insects as the lizard can eat in about 5 minutes
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 the tail so long?
Most of its length is tail, used for balance in tall grass. It can break off, so never catch it by the tail.
Can I handle it?
Not really. It is extremely fast and will bolt the moment you open the lid, so treat it as a display animal.
Can I keep a group?
Yes. A small group in a tall planted tank works well, as they are not aggressive to each other.
What does it eat?
Small live insects every day: crickets, fruit flies and small roaches, dusted with calcium.

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.
