Setup

The numbers

Temperature

152025303540 °C
22–26°Ambient
20–22°Night

One ambient band, 22–26°C, dropping to 20–22°C at night. Same scale on every sheet here, so two species compare by eye.

The sheet statesday 22-26 °C / night 20-22 °C. No distinct basking hotspot: one source notes the species does not require a dedicated heat bulb for basic maintenance.

Humidity

70–90%Target RH

The sheet states70-90%, with the substrate kept consistently moist and the enclosure sprayed regularly

UVB

Not needed for this species

Stated in the sheet, not inferred.

The sheet statesDebated for this nocturnal to crepuscular species. One source states no heat or UV lighting is required for basic maintenance but that UVB becomes important for females, helping prevent rickets and supporting egg production. Another recommends a low-output UVB compact bulb or strip as generally beneficial. No UVI or Ferguson zone published.

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 60 x 50 x 50 cm (W x D x H), with at least 91 cm recommended for a pair. Substrate a 5 cm layer of coconut fibre kept humid, or coconut fibre and moss blends incorporating live or sphagnum moss. Furnish with cork bark, branches, leaf litter, a water bowl and abundant hides.

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

every 7 dAs the sheet states
4Meals in 28 days

Twenty-eight days, one row. Each band is a meal window.

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 statesInsectivorous to omnivorous: roaches, mealworms, earthworms and waxworms, plus insect larvae. Earthworms supplemented with added vitamins and minerals. Prey dusted with calcium three times weekly and a vitamin powder once or twice weekly.

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.
