Temperature
The cool side, 21–24°C. This sheet states the cool side only. It gives no warm side or basking figure, so the hot end is not in our data. Same scale on every sheet here, so two species compare by eye.

Enclosure
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 statesA good starting point for the average gopher snake is a 48"L x 24"W x 24"H enclosure, but larger will be required for individuals over 6' long
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 statesmice and rats, hamsters, gerbils, young guinea pigs, chicks, and quail; Babies and juveniles — every 4-7 days; Adults — every 7-14 days
คำถามที่พบบ่อย EN
Does it bite?
Mostly it hisses and bluffs. With regular handling most become quite reliable, and it is not venomous.
How big does it get?
Around 1.2 to 1.8 metres depending on the animal, sturdy but manageable.
Is it a hardy snake?
Yes, one of the tougher colubrids. Good appetite, good shedding, and it copes with a beginner learning curve.
What do I need to buy?
A long secure enclosure, deep substrate for burrowing, a hide at each end and a gentle warm area.
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 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.
