I grew up in Missouri so this heat is nothing up here. The temps got to 95 the other day and they issued a heat advisory... Now that it's nearing 100 out, people are panicking. The house has to been kept around 74-75 anyways because we have chinchillas and they can overheat. The raccoon kits are getting a bit warm since we have them acclimating to outside temps. They've been panting a lot more during playtime and sucking down water like crazy. Personally, the reptiles and I think it's wonderful! My husband, however, is acting like he's dying on the couch.
