A real gradient, 27–31°C warm against 24–27°C cool, so the animal chooses. The sheet states no separate night figure.

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

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.

คำถามที่พบบ่อย EN

Is it a good first snake?

Yes. It is hardy, calm enough, stays a moderate size and its care is as simple as a corn snake.

How big does it get?

Usually around a metre, sometimes a little more. Easy to house in a standard enclosure.

Does it hide all the time?

It is more secretive than a corn snake and likes to burrow, so give it deep substrate and two hides and check on it in the evening.

Can it share with another snake?

No, it is a kingsnake and can eat other snakes. One per enclosure.

Not stated: The size of the enclosurethis sheet describes the enclosure without a figure: « minimum 20 a 40 gallons long »

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.

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.
