Like you I haven't had a royal thru a hot summer yet but what we are planning to do is this (we don't have AC)....


add more holes to the Sterlite to aid in air movement and to keep heat from building up too much (we can just cover them up when the cooler weather comes I figure)

move her container to the coolest room in the house if need be

put a fan in the room to move the air around

adjust her undertank heater accordingly

I always add an icecube to my other pets water dish during the summer months but not sure if this is advisable with a snake.

Personally I'm more worried about humidity issues as we can get some horrid humid weather in Michigan during August.

Thank goodness balls like warm conditions.
