Drag the sun. The sheet states a night temperature, so the rail follows it.

One ambient band, 26–29°C, dropping to 22–24°C at night. Same scale on every sheet here, so two species compare by eye.

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 ».

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.

What it needs

Enclosure at least 120 × 60 × 150 cmbecause enclosure — tall planted minimum 120 x 60 x 150 cm, water
A heat sourcebecause temp — basking 32-35 C / ambient 26-29 C / night 22-24 C
A thermostat to regulate itbecause temp — basking 32-35 C / ambient 26-29 C / night 22-24 C
A thermometerbecause temp — basking 32-35 C / ambient 26-29 C / night 22-24 C
A way to check the night figurebecause temp — basking 32-35 C / ambient 26-29 C / night 22-24 C
A hygrometerbecause humidity — 70-90% + water feature
UVB, stated as requiredbecause uvb — Ferguson 3 (UV index 2.0-3.0)

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.
