Thermal gradient

22–26°Cool side
28–31°Warm side
20–24°Night
32–35°CBasking surfaceMeasured on the surface under the lamp, not in the air. It is not drawn on the rail above: that scale is the air the enclosure holds, and a basking surface sits far outside it.

Day: a real gradient, 28–31°C warm against 22–26°C cool, so the animal chooses. Night: 20–24°C.

Why

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

The sheet stateswarm 28-31 °C / cool 22-26 °C / night 20-24 °C / basking 32-35 °C

Day

Drag the sun. The sheet states a night temperature, so the rail follows it.

Enclosure and conditions

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.

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

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 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.
