Potential room temp problems?

[MissterDog]

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.

Thanks for this! I'll definitely try these methods. For some reason step 3 never even occurred to me but it makes perfect sense lol. How many degrees do you usually dial it back?


Also great looking cages! Which models are your AP cages? I'm looking at getting the T12
