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
