    Getting ready for the hot summer

    Hello, I Currently live in Orange County, California and it can sometimes get super hot here. It;s going to be my first summer with my BP, and I want to be prepared for the hell-fire, but unfortunately, our rental house does not come with a house AC.

    My question is this:
    What can you do to cool down the snake cages without using any form of AC.

    Now, I do have an AC for my room, but if possible, I want to be able to cool down the snake cage without using it (though if I have to, I would use the AC).

    Should I make a fogging machine to constantly provide cold fog into my snake cage?
    Should I just put in an ice pack inside the cage?
    have an extra water bowl for the sole purpose of cooling down (like ice water)?
    provide a better airflow?

    What would and what can you do?

    What do you consider "super hot"?

    well, most of the time, the temp will be around 91~98. but when it's really hot, it can go over 100.

    I'd just run the AC in your room. If you just set it to cool down to 85 that shouldn't hurt your electric bill too much and the snake would be comfortable.
