I feel so bad. When I woke up yesterday morning the warm side temp was reading at close to 100 degrees, I quickly brought it back down and made sure my snake was moving normally. He isn't lethargic by any means and has a plenty large water dish, but he will not sit still! He's just bent on getting the hell outta here which is understandable since I almost fried him :/
Now I'm not sure how to keep his tank temps steady. It's been fine (pretty constant 90 degree warm side 80 degree cool and 50-60 prevent humidity) since I got him over a month ago, but we just got a bad heat wave here this week and I'm worried. I plugged up the ac vents in my room to keep his temps ok and I definitely wasn't expecting it to get that hot in there! Maybe if I cover the screen top with a towel I can just keep the ac vent open.
I'm using an infrared heat lamp right now maybe it's time to switch to a mat and thermostat.
Would I still have to worry about the ac or heater effecting the tank temp? My home is centrally controlled by a thermostat so I personally can't decide that the ac or heater just won't be on or how long.
