Hi everyone! My area is currently experiencing a bit of a heat wave and temperatures in my BP's tank are getting into the mid-high 80s, including the cool side. The AC I have can't cool the room more than around 83 degrees. I've turned off his deep heat projector and I've been watching him carefully. I know this isn't exceptionally hot, but I am worried about him overheating. The other day I used my temperature gun to scan him and it was 88 degrees, which I'm worried is too hot. He is usually quite docile, but he hissed for the second time in the four years I've had him when I went to check on him earlier, so I'm worried the heat may be making him more irritable.

I know this isn't utterly boiling and I've heard the danger zone is more around 95F, but I wanted to ask what the signs were if he is or does start to overheat.

Thank you!
