    Potential room temp problems?

    That being said, what do you do when you find temperatures are running too hot? What course of actions do you do?
    I live in a hot part of the country and run into this problem as well.

    The following are the steps I take : (if step 1 fails, move to step 2 and so on)

    Step 1) The door to the snake room is usually closed to take advantage of the heat put off by 8 large enclosures; so I open the door to let hot air out and cooler air in.

    Step 2) Turn on ceiling fan. (If you don't have one, add a table top fan.)

    Step 3) Turn the enclosure thermostats down, and dimmer if using a lamp.

    Step 4) Last resort, I open the vent and turn the A/C on. Then readjust the enclosure thermostats.

    It's all about subtracting and adding heat/ cold depending upon which direction you need to go.

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
