Tropiocolotes tripolitanus

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. alismenagerie.co.uk

The numbers

Thermal gradient

26–30°Cool side
35–40°Warm side

A real gradient, 35–40°C warm against 26–30°C cool, so the animal chooses. The sheet states no separate night figure.

Why

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

The sheet statesAn arid species, the Tropiocolotes species will thrive at lower humidity levels between 20% and 30%.

UVB

Requiredrequired

The sheet statesUVB is a vital form of ultraviolet radiation required by reptiles to synthesise Vitamin D3 for the absorption of calcium.; These geckos will be exposed to high levels of UV in their open, arid African habitats, so a UV index (UVI) in Ferguson Zone 3 is required (1.0-2.6 average, 2.9-7.4 maximum/basking).

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.
