Setup

The numbers

Thermal gradient

152025303540 °C
25–27°Cool side
30–31°Warm side

A real gradient, 30–31°C warm against 25–27°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 25-27 °C

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 statesSingle adult minimum 90 x 60 x 120 cm, tall and densely branched

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.

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 venomous?

Yes, mildly, as a rear-fanged snake. It rarely bites but you should treat it with respect.

Will it escape?

It is a determined escape artist. Every gap and hinge on the enclosure needs checking.

What does it eat?

Small lizards and geckos, sometimes frogs. A reliable lizard supply is essential before you buy.

Can I handle it?

Not really. It is fast, nervous and slips away in a second. It is a display animal.

What this sheet states

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 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.
