So I live in Southern California and it's been so HOT!! I keep a close eye on my torties temps. Hot side 90s, cool side low 80s, humidity 80%-99% in a closed chamber. But with California being so hot and I don't have air conditioning in my room, during the hottest time of the day when my room heats up I have to turn all my lamps off. His cool side heats up into the 90s even with all the lamps off. This is too hot for his cool side I know but even if it's only to get through the hottest time of the day? After that it drops back down to the 80s. I take him out frequently and give him soaks when it's hot but if I'm ever caught at school and I'm not able to give him a cool down soak, if he gets too hot will he just soak himself in his saucer? I've seen my room get 95 before which means it's 95 in his tank. Is this unsafe for him? Any ideas for keeping the temps down on his cool side?
Here is Bogart. I promise you his temps were good in this picture he just loves to sleep like that.
