    Put the cage on the floor in the lowest part of the house? If you're that worried about it, you could get an IR thermometer and take readings throughout your home during different times of the day. Do this regularly and keep notes. You'll soon find the best place to keep your cage. If you have a choice between too cool and too hot, go with too cool. If you don't have access to reliable climate control, You have to get creative.

    You should probably try to find a room that doesn't have any windows, so you don't get any greenhouse effect. Maybe a closet or even the bathroom.

    Re: preparing for summer

    We've had some pretty warm weather around here the last few days, and I've been having a heck of a time adjusting my dimmer switches. I haven't had any changes of more than 2-3 degrees, but it seems almost constant. I need a thermostat

    The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
    Drugs are a bet with your mind.
