We're having a heat wave in Mass right now and since it normally doesn't get that hot up here my house doesn't have AC. My viv is way to hot, I have just one 50 watt basking lamp on right now so the hot spot is a good 100 deg but the rest of the tank is still 95 deg and I can't figure out how to cool it down. I have a fan in the room and I even have wrapped ice in a towel in an attempt to get it to cool down in the viv but nothing is helping. Any advice on getting the viv to cool down?

Open your tank doors if you have them --- leave them open for awhile or also turn off the basking light and just leave the UVB on -- is the tank on a second floor or main floor? What is the temp in your house

it's on the second floor because we have cats so his viv has to be in its own room. The house is around 88 deg. I'll try leaving the doors open when im home.

The second floor is too hot and if the door is closed it's going to make it hotter-- you either need to get a window a/c or move the tank downstairs -- you do not want the dragon to get heat stroke and w/ the tank being in the 90's the dragon has to where to cool off

I concur with Kerrie

Unplug the basking globe entirely .

If it's too difficult / hazardous to move tank down the steps , the best bet is
a portable room refrigerative aircon like this will knock down the relative humidity as well the temperature FAST

or if the budget wont stretch that far , a portable room evaporative cooler , be aware , it will add to room humidity , but will drop the room temperature in inland areas where the relative humidity is lower ( not as good in coastal areas ).

If you want a justification , the aircon or room cooler ( portable on wheels ) will make people and pets sharing the room much more comfy too.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
