We've been breaking heat records for a couple days nonstop now. Two days ago it was 117 Fahrenheit outside and 105 inside my house. I have 3 closed chambers and I have basking bulbs off but I wanna know how should I cool them off? Im currently giving them baths twice a day and spraying them every 30 min. All with room temp water.
Im worried becuase I've never had reptiles before. I have had my sulcatas for months now and take great care. But I've never had them in these extreme heat wave.
I spray them down with room temp water, basically almost warm water becuase it's so hot. But when I go to touch them, they feel cool to the touch.
That's what has me worried, they can't get cold or catch a cold if the house is 95 to 105 Fahrenheit and I spray them with room temp water? I feel worried becuase I have their basking lights off and they cool to the touch. Never had reptiles.
Also im going to buy another thermostat only for basking bulbs. I already have 3 thermostats controlling ceramic bulbs in 3 closed chambers. But im Gonna get a 4th to control basking all basking lights and set it to 95 degrees. Has anyone done this ?
