Q about temperature !!

I live in a place where's the normal temperature of the room about 87-93 F in summer(could reach 100 F some times in July and Aug.), so i don't think i'm gonna need heat pad or any other heat source.
But in the other hand i'll need something to cool the other side of the viv !!
What could be a good idea to cool the viv ?! ...
Putting ice in the viv ?! .. please help me with this :(
 
I would stay away from the ice. On really hot days, if you have a cool area in the house like a closet, basement or something, that might be good. You could also try cool damp cloths or rags. Get the air ciculating with a fan, if you don't have air conditioning. Also try to keep the snake out of any sunlight.

Good Luck

Keep the viv on the floor. I have a lizard that needs a cooler temp, so she has AC run to her viv with a dryer hose- you know, that 4" expandable stuff.

What type of lizard needs low temps?

She is in florida so in the summer it could get pretty hot there. Crested Geckos don't do well over 80 degrees. Satanic Leaf Tail geckos are another species that can't be kept at higher temps. Anything over 80 for extended periods of time can result in death. They are best kept at 68-75 during the day and a drop at night to 60-70.
