    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Help with "cool" spot

I am facing a dilemma and need some urgent advice.

I just moved to a new home, without A/C. We now have a swamp cooler in place, which keeps our indoor humidity at around 50% - 60% this time of year. Our indoor temp fluctuates between 75F at night to 85F-90F during the day.

This is where my problem lies, at these temps I must wonder if I am causing harm to my herps since my rack heat gradient stays at max 90F, but I must turn it off if my entire home stays around 85F - 90F.

I guess what I am trying to find out is how do I keep a cool spot at these temps? It seems to have gotten more difficult in maintaining my former temp gradient under an A/C home in the city but seem to find myself at odds trying to figure this out.

Any help, advice is appreciated. Thank you.
 
My heat source is the sun shining down @ my house!!! It's a terribly built home, where the east side of the house is heated in the morning and the west side in towards dusk - but now I've installed a room a/c in the snake room so I think I can manage the temps much better. Thanks!
