Are your animals in the coolest room available? How about some fans to circulate the air?

I know that feel bro! I live in Ontario Canada and it got to 40oC here thats like 102oF!
I turned off my room heater and just have a fan blowing now that temps are staying fine now they were getting way to hot.

I do have a fan, not sure how i should angle it. I had it on the floor pointing upwards. Now i have it in the window, blowing the hot air out of the room, if that makes sense.

when i was a lil kid and my room got to hot in the summer. what i did was get a few 2 letter soda bottles. fill 3/4th the way up put them in the freezer (with the lids off) after they i would put them behind my box fan it blows cool are around the room. also put a towel under the bottles so the condensation doesn't make a mes on your floor.

Good point! The one way I would not point it is toward the rack or tubs. Wouldn't want to dry them out with the extra air flow.
I would first try and blow the hot air out, while keeping an eye on the ambient temp.

My reptile room tends to get to hot if I leave the door closed. I have the (house) air conditioner on most of the time and the ceiling fan on as well.
I need the room a bit cooler cause I have Brazilian Rainbow Boa who can't have her warm side above 85 and that pretty much puts the room at 75-82 which is prefect for ambient temp for balls.
Good Luck! Cooling down is harder than trying to make something warm enough to me lol

Travis lives in Massachusetts. I'm guessing he may not have central air?
