    I wouldn't think a day at 84 now and then would be detrimental, provided it does get cooler. I have 84 days at room temp now and then without refusals, but my sample pool is only one animal. 2kdime would know better than me.
    YES. it is an EXTREMELY hot day.

    Usually without any heating its at 79. Today no heating and its at 84. Althought it does reach 84 for a few moments randomly when I have the lamp running but never stays there for long

    Theres a computer in the room but produces almost zero heat. I use to be all abourt this comp so I have special cooling fans in it and an external fan pushing hot air out the back towards the door (was big on gaming before I picked up my snake)

    This is just a very hot day, itll go down

    If it doesnt by tomorrow what could I do to cool it down? Put my big fan closer to the tank?

    Do you have AC? Keep the doors open, and run a fan if that doesn't work and AC isn't enough. I know some people don't like running the AC too much because of all the energy. Even a couple days at 84 shouldn't be the biggest deal as it should cool off at night anyhow, but we have July and August around the corner and that's when you might need to bust out a fan on some days. Last year my room temps got up to 87 during those months, so be ready.

    Yeah I have my fan on, and unfortunatly the air conditioner downstairs doesnt affect the upstairs at all.

    My parents have a air conditioner in their room, so Ill test that out, ill keep my door open, put the fan in the doorway facing into my room and keep my window open

    That should do it, I hope

    Well if it's really hot outside the window might make it worse. Everything else sounds fine.

    Ah, window stays shut then

    Lol

    Ill see how it goes tomorrow, I have a feeling itll be another scortcher

    ALSO

    I have another question

    when she starts to shed, do I have to bump the humidity higher then 70% or can I keep it at 70 and things will still go smooth? also what % would be good to aim for during the shed.

    Thanks
