I recently bought an RBI 3x2x1 plastic cage with a 80w radiant heat panel. Have a herpstat which is set to 90 degrees. When the temperature in my house is at about 70, the temps inside of the cage are good (92 hot hide, 81 cool hide, ambient 82). However, the temps in the house fluctuate quite a bit during the day and it causes the temps in the cage to fluctuate as well. So when it gets really warm in the house the temps in the cage tend to change to like 89 hot hide, up to 87 cool hide, and up to 87 ambient .
Is 87 max temp too hot for the cool hide to be for a few hours a day? Is there anything I can do to try to keep temps in the cage more stable(other than air condition the house during the day)? There is no snake in the cage yet by the way. Thanks
