    Summer and hot spots

    We live in the PNW and don't have AC because its not usually needed BUT we do have some pretty warm stretches of time. Well.... When we have upper 80's and up our RHPs obviously are not running. Is this something we need to be concerned about? Anything specific we should watch for or take into consideration? Because of the heat we do not have our usual temperature gradient. Enclosure temp ranges from 85-90 ish, usually at 86. Temps measured with a temp gun and the thermostat probe readings. We still have our UTH that we can install if we need to. Both of our guys are eating well, passing urates and stools like normal, active, acting "normal", and both still had complete sheds.

    Those temps are spot on. What is your humidity.
