Hello All,
I'm really concerned that my viv is keeping in too much heat. Today it was 88 degrees outside and it got really warm inside. It is currently 88 degrees in my room and in the enclosure it was about 90. I turned off his lamps for the day because it was just too hot. Basking was 105 but the cool side was 90!
I live on the 3rd floor of an apt complex and it gets quite hot up here. I can't always have the air conditioner on because if I turn it on it will just keep running all day non-stop and sometimes I am not here to turn it off and back on again.
I have a crossfire style viv and did everything I could to clear off the top, pop off some of the vents and now I am looking into building screen inserts for the viv. I am at a loss for what to do. I really don't want him to roast.
Odd thing is is that he has been sitting under a log on the hot side instead of the cool side and he also wasn't thermoregulating. I took him out and gave him a long soak and he was pretty active but when I put him back he went to sleep under the hot side log again. IDK what to do.
