How to keep temperatures down

Well, I'm not too sure, but much like many of us provide a heat pad to provide a temperature gradient, maybe you could put a cold pack on one side of the tank? Like one of those refreezable ice pack thingys. You would probably have to replace them often though.
Or you could put the tank closer to the air conditioner.

The only way you can "cool" something is with something colder than the hot thing.. trying to cool a 80 degree (F) tank with 80 F air will do no good. A fan only "feels" cooler because that 80 F air is blowing against your 98 F body.. cooling it.. Same thing with a cpu fan blowing air that is ~75F at a cpu that is about 130F (varies with type).dartguy said:
Long story short- don't bother with a fan on the tank.. it won't help...
Sorry if this sounds offensive.. it's not meant to be.. it's been a long day

I think the only way you're going to get the temps right is to cool the room you're in to at least 77F or lower with an AC.. and then use a heat pad for the warm area like you normally would.adriel said:
If cooling a whole room is not an option, a rather radical idea would be to get a used or cheap refrigerator that isn't very cold, and have the tank setup in there (with adequate ventilation added)

adriel: why do you keep your corn? i live in brunei. i kept my snake a room temperature in a non air-con room. i have no issue of high temperature yet, but i probably wont have one.
where do you place your snake? Just keep them in a cool place, shaded, not too drafty & in-doors. and that will be just perfect.
how does the patch looks like?

Mice! They taste so nice!
I remember a thread mentioning using air from a fan blowing across a pan of water to make a basic air-conditioner, I'll see if I can find a link
