Setup
The numbers
Thermal gradient
Day: a real gradient, 30–32°C warm against 23–28°C cool, so the animal chooses. Night: 21–24°C.
Why
Same scale on every sheet here, so two species compare by eye.
The sheet stateswarm 30-32 °C / cool 23-28 °C / night 21-24 °C
Humidity
The sheet states70-80% during the day, and higher at night
UVB
The sheet statesrequire UVB lighting for long-term health; Arcadia T5 HO Forest 6%; Zoo Med T5 HO Reptisun 5.0; the lizard's back is 7-9" below the lamp
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 statesThe absolute minimum enclosure size for a single mountain horned dragon is 36"L x 18"W x 36"H
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.
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 statesdiscoids, dubias, earthworms, hornworms, silkworms, mealworms, superworms, black soldier fly larvae; Offer prey daily, as much food as the lizard will take in about 10 minutes for juveniles and 5 minutes for adults
The species
Identity
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
Is it hard to keep?
The main issue is heat. It comes from cool mountain forest and does poorly in a hot room.
Can I handle it?
Briefly. They are calm rather than aggressive, but they are not fond of it and stress shows quickly.
What does it eat?
Insects, mainly crickets and roaches, dusted with supplement. Simple feeding.
Anything I should know before buying?
Most are wild-caught, so expect a quiet settling-in period before the animal looks its best.

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.
