    I was able to get the temp down two ways. First, I am using a tank with mesh top, a fan in the room (not pointed in the tank or anything) helped circulate air and bring the temp down. Second, I put the tank up on some wood blocks, it had been sitting on my dresser. Any heat the UTH was putting out into the air (probably not much) was able to dissipate better.

    I temporary solution I thought of but didn't try would be to put some of those gel ice packs on top of the mesh to see if the cold would lower the temp at all without directly influencing the snake.

    Ultimately we turned the A/C on.
    I figured the A/C would have to go on. Thanks for posting what you did. I can't get away with out A/C during the summer either because it will be 35C plus and we live in a townhouse (one side only has windows), that heats up pretty fast. If I didn't have A/C units I would have to put my cages in the basement.

    Glad you got your temps down! It is amazing what even a fan will do in a room too.
