Summer
I live in Japan, and now that the rainy season has finally ended the sun has come out and it's going to be hot for the next couple of months. In fact, it's forecast to be over 40°C (104°F) in some parts of the country.
I've been monitoring the temperature in my room, and so far it's up to around 33°C (91.5°F) during the day with a nighttime low of 29°C (84°F). If I open all the windows, leave an electric fan on and spray my python's viv regularly with cold water, the ambient viv temp stays anywhere between 30-33°C (86-91.5°F).
Although his heating is regulated with a thermostat, I've turned everything off. Even the UV tube is off, as the ballast puts out enough warmth to raise the viv temp by an extra 2°C.
At these temperatures I haven't noticed any change in behaviour. My only concern is that I have to go away for a week in August and won't be around to keep an eye on things. What does everyone else do in this type of situation?
