A real gradient, 29–32°C warm against 21–27°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.

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.

อาหาร

Feeding rhythm

every 5–7 dAs an adult
5Meals in 28 days

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 statesAside from the usual mice and rats, you can add variety to your snake's diet with hamsters, gerbils, anoles, house geckos, and Reptilinks. Hatchlings should be fed once every 5-7 days. Juveniles should be fed once every 7-10 days. Adults should be fed once every 10-14 days

คำถามที่พบบ่อย EN

Can I keep two in one enclosure?

No, never. Kingsnakes eat other snakes, including their own kind. One snake per enclosure with no exceptions.

Will it stay pure black?

Babies often show faint markings and darken as they mature, so a good one gets blacker with each shed.

Does it bite?

Rarely once settled, but they have a very strong feeding response. Use tongs and let it strike the food, not your hand.

Is it good for a beginner?

Yes, one of the best. It is hardy, eats reliably, stays around a metre and a half, and tolerates handling well.

This sheet states 4 of 7 of the fields this product runs on. What is missing turns something off: humidity instrument and 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.
