    Summer time please end.

    So long story short. I have no a/c because of redoing our backyard. So it's been 100+ outside my house and 90's inside my concern isn't me I will live haha. I have kalua in a t8 and using an acurite to check temps and humidity. My temps are typically mid 90's through out the day in the cage not using a heat pad. Humidity is about 60 percent I've been spraying to cool her down as well as help her shed. Summer is almost over but should I be worried that I really don't have a way to get the temps down right now? She has her water bowl that she will soak in mid day probably to keep cool. No mites from what I can see. She still eats and poops normally and is active.

    If you're home during the day you can make "redneck A/C". Freeze some 1 or 2 liter bottles of water, and during the hottest part of the day put the frozen bottle in the room with a fan blowing on it. Don't aim the fan at the enclosure, just let the cooled air circulate in the room. Rotate bottles as needed.

    Also you can put your enclosure on the floor, I've noticed a 1-2*F temperature difference in my house between the floor and ceiling.

    i feel for you. This So Cal heat wave sucks. At work, the AC went tits up and we had a company come out and put portable units. They weren't as cold but it did help. Just a suggestion.
