Day: a real gradient, 45°C warm against 32°C cool, so the animal chooses. Night: 27°C.

Why

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

The sheet stateswarm 45 °C / cool 32 °C / night 27 °C

Humidity

The sheet statesHumidity level is maintained at 30-60% with light double spraying (morning and evening) during the day.

UVB

Requiredrequired

The sheet statesZoo Med 5 UVB lamp is used during breeding season for 12-14 hours per day (9:00-23:00); during winter dormancy – for 4 - 6 hours per day.

Diet
The diet consists of house crickets ( Acheta domesticus ), Jamaican field crickets ( Gryllus assimilis ), two-spotted crickets ( Gryllus bimaculatus ) and Turkestan cockroaches ( Blatta lateralis ) of appropriate size (5-6 insects per head).

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 40 x 60 x 40 cm terrarium, larger preferred (genus-level guidance, congener P. mystaceus - no species-specific data exists)Measured on Phrynocephalus mystaceus, not on this species

A hygrometerbecause humidity — Humidity level is maintained at 30-60% with light double spraying (morning and evening) during the day.
UVB, stated as requiredbecause uvb — Zoo Med 5 UVB lamp is used during breeding season for 12-14 hours per day (9:00-23:00); during winter dormancy - for 4 - 6 hours per day.

Every line above is deduced from a value this sheet states, and names which one. Nothing here is a general recommendation.

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.
