ค่าหลัก
Temperature
The cool side, 24–29°C, dropping to 21°C at night. 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.
The sheet statescool 24-29 °C / night 21 °C
Humidity
The sheet states60-80% on average
UVB
Not needed for this species
Stated in the sheet, not inferred.
The sheet statesAlthough argus monitors have been proven to survive and breed without access to UVB, using UVB light in captivity is still best practice; Arcadia Desert 12%, 46" or Zoo Med Reptisun T5 HO 10.0, 46"; The UVB lamp should be mounted inside the enclosure, with the basking platform placed so the monitor's back will be 14-16" below the lamp; Lights should be on for 12 hours/day

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. This sheet states a figure for each age, so each age has its row.
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. A young animal's row is drawn only where the sheet gives one: working it out by dividing the adult interval would be inventing a ration.
The sheet statescarnivores; Feeder insect options: crickets, discoid roaches, dubia roaches, earthworms, grasshoppers, hornworms, silkworms, mealworms, superworms, black soldier fly larvae, snails (captive-bred only); Other protein options: mice, small rats, quail, chicks, fish, lizards, snakes, eggs (whole), organ meat; Juveniles (<3' long) — daily; Subadults and Adults (>3' long) — 3-4x/week; Each meal should be roughly the same size as the monitor's head
คำถามที่พบบ่อย EN
Is it dangerous?
It has a strong bite and claws, and a very high food drive, so most bites are feeding mistakes. Use tongs always.
How big does it get?
1.2 to 1.5 metres. It is extremely active, so floor space matters more than height.
Is it intelligent?
Notably so. They learn routines and recognise people, and a bored one becomes destructive.
What do I need for it?
Deep digging substrate, a large enclosure, strong basking and UVB lighting, and daily time from you.
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.
