The numbers
Temperature
The cool side, 26–29°C, dropping to 20°C at night. This sheet states the cool side only. It gives no warm side or basking figure, so the hot end is not in our data. Same scale on every sheet here, so two species compare by eye.
The sheet statescool 26-29 °C / night 20 °C
Humidity
The sheet statesbetween 20% and 80%
UVB
The sheet statesUVI of 2.0-3.0 in the basking area, Arcadia T5 HO Forest 6%, mesh: 10-13″ / 25-33cm, no mesh: 14-17″ / 35-43cm
Identity
Enclosure and conditions
Enclosure
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 statesno smaller than 36″L x 18″W x 18″H / 90x45x45cm
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.
Diet
Feeding rhythm
Twenty-eight days, one row. Each band is a meal window. The sheet gives several ages on one line; this is the adult figure.
Why
The windows widen as they go because the interval is a range: four meals after a 10–14 day cycle land anywhere between day 40 and day 56.
The sheet statesmice, young rats, young hamsters, young gerbils, young quail, chicken chicks, green anoles, mourning geckos, Pictus geckos, Reptilinks; Juveniles should be fed every 7-10 days, and adults should be fed every 2-3 weeks
Common questions
How big does it get?
Small, usually around a metre. It is one of the most apartment-friendly pythons we stock.
What kind of setup does it need?
A drier setup than most pythons, with good ventilation, rock or bark hides, a warm end on a thermostat and a water bowl.
Is it easy to feed?
Generally yes, it takes appropriately sized frozen-thawed mice without fuss. Some individuals slow down for a while in the cool season.
Can I keep two together?
No, house them separately. Snakes do not need company, and two in one box means competition and feeding accidents.
What it needs
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
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.
