    UGH! Heating Problems!

    Well, for the few days it has been extremely hot! Yesterday it reached about 90 degrees! This is making the temperatures in my enclosure go crazy. IT will go up to about 100 degress, then I will have to turn off the heatpads and open the window to get it back down to 90. But if I just leave the heatpads off, the tempeture will drop down into the 70's during the night. UGH! Do you have any ideas that could help? Thanks!

    Buy a thermostate as it will stop the heater from going past the temp you set it at.

    a tstat would help or if possible, i use a fan during the day when it's hot here, not pointed directly at them, but it helps circulate the air enough in my setup, also depends on what kind of caging your using.

    using a fan in a room can help the temp drop 5-10 degrees
