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.

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 45 × 45 × 60 cmbecause enclosure — tall ≥45×45×60 cm vertical
A thermometerbecause temp — warm spot 30-32 °C / ambient 25-28 °C / night 16-20 °C
A way to check the night figurebecause temp — warm spot 30-32 °C / ambient 25-28 °C / night 16-20 °C
A hygrometerbecause humidity — 50-70%
UVB, stated as requiredbecause uvb — low-moderate (UVI 1-2)

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.
