A real gradient, 32°C warm against 27–35°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.

Drawn from the stated numbers. Seen from above: the sheet gives a footprint and no height.

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 minimum recommended space is 5 X 5 feet or 25 square feet of floor space for a single 8 inch animal

เกร็ดน่ารู้ EN

Among the longest-lived animals: individuals have passed 150 years.

คำถามที่พบบ่อย EN

How big does it get?

Well over a metre of shell and 150 to 250 kg. It will eventually be stronger than you are.

How long does it live?

Over a hundred years. You are buying an animal for your grandchildren.

What does it cost to keep?

The animal is only the start. You need a large fenced garden, a strong shelter and a lot of greens every single day.

Is it safe around children?

It does not bite aggressively, but it is heavy and pushes through obstacles, so a child can be knocked over or have toes stepped on. Always supervise.

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.
