I had the same issue with the wife so I was forced to go the garage. I live in So. Cal so summers are HOT!! And winters are mild only dipping to low 40’s at times. None the less the garage is hot and colder then my house a times. As I was researching ball pythons on you tube I came across a you tube poster “ball python” and saw his video – Ball Python Collection “Reptile Room” - where he used a grow tent to keep his heat and temps where he needed them. Check it out. I bought a light house grow tent and put my rack inside along with fans and oil heater. My first summer on extreme hot days I just cut off my herp stat and maintained a steady 88 during the day. Now as cooler temps creep up I maintain ambient tempts at 75 with the heater and herp stat at around 90. Humidity stays at around 70 with larger water bowls in the racks even with the fans circulating the air in the summer time. Hope this helps.
