ค่าหลัก

Thermal gradient

152025303540 °C

26–28°Cool side

30–31°Warm side

A real gradient, 30–31°C warm against 26–28°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 stateswarm 30-31 °C / cool 26-28 °C

Humidity

50–70%Target RH

The sheet states50-70% (one keeper reports ambient room humidity of 60-80% works fine with no active humidity control)

UVB

5–7%required

The sheet statesA 5-7% UVB bulb should be mounted within the enclosure, ideally 10-12 inches away from the basking surface, and replaced every six months to maintain effectiveness.

อาหาร

Hatchlings and juveniles have higher metabolisms and grow rapidly, requiring frequent feedings of appropriately sized prey every 5 to 7 days.; Subadults and adults generally feed less frequently, with feedings occurring every 10 to 14 days depending on the size of the prey item.

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 48 x 24 x 24 in for subadult/adult, larger (e.g. 72-96 in length) recommended for bigger snakes; one keeper houses an adult in 1.4 x 0.6 x 0.6 m

This sheet states 5 of 7 of the fields this product runs on. What is missing turns something off: 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.
