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

CITES III is a global listing and holds in every country. National law is not global, and we hold no national wildlife law for any country, Thailand included. Check your own authority before buying or selling.

Day: a real gradient, 32°C warm against 28°C cool, so the animal chooses. Night: 24°C.

Why

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

The sheet statesthe first o ne includes simple lighting lamps or uv lamp (5 .0) that are used for day lighting (from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm (14-hour daylight during breeding season) and 10-12-hour daylight hours (from 7:00 to 19:00) the rest of the time until wintering.

Diet
feeding sessions: adults (every other day we give 3-4 food objects, depending on the condition of the animal); babies (every day, 3 food objects).

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 20 x 10 x 12 in / ~51 x 25 x 30 cm, or a 10-gallon (~38 L) tank, for one adult

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.
