Thermal gradient
A real gradient, 32°C warm against 24–29°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.
The sheet stateswarm 32 °C / cool 24-29 °C
Humidity
The sheet statesaverage humidity of 40-60%
UVB
The sheet statesZoo Med T5 HO Reptisun 5.0 or Arcadia T5 HO Forest 6% bulb. With mesh obstruction: 9-12". Without mesh obstruction: 12-14". UVI of 2.0-3.0 in the basking area

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.
อาหาร
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 statesWild milksnakes are known to eat other snakes, small mammals, lizards, birds, and eggs. The size of your milksnake's prey should be no more than 1.5x the width of the snake at its widest point. Hatchlings - every 5-7 days / Juveniles - every 7-10 days / Adults - every 10-14 days
คำถามที่พบบ่อย EN
It looks like a coral snake. Is it dangerous?
Not at all, it is a harmless mimic. It copies the warning colours for protection, but it has no venom.
How small is it?
Very small and slender, usually well under a metre. That size is exactly what makes it a bit of a challenge.
What can it eat if it is that small?
Very small prey, often pink mouse parts for hatchlings. This is why we do not recommend it as a first snake.
Will I see it much?
Honestly, no. It is secretive and spends most of its time under cover, so buy it because you like the animal, not for display.
อุปกรณ์ที่ต้องมี EN
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 4 of 7 of the fields this product runs on. What is missing turns something off: enclosure size audit, 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.
