My tank is too hot

[Bombina Bob]

Hi Phelot, A good way to cool down your tank is to freeze a water bottle ,put it in a bag and rest it against the side of the tank. I keep my animals that like cooler temps at floor level in my room, that is where its going to be the coolest in the household. Good luck!

my toads tank, can get pretty hot at times based upon the temps outside (sometimes we range in the 90s, with the ac set at about 75) averaging around 80 or so, in the reptile room (they are below a snake) (and above 2 geckos tanks.) anyways, the hot temps haven't been affecting my frogs too much. they are still active. what I am getting at, even though this species prefers colder temps. being warm every so often. shouldn't stress them out too much.

the water bottle sounds like a good idea... I have never done it before.

I wonder if making dechlorinated icecubes would be possible?

Okay, it's great news that hot weather doesn't affect them significantly.

I'll definitely give that water bottle business a try once or twice. I'll keep a watch on it so that it doesn't get too cold or anything.

is there a specific reason they have a light, other than the natural light of the room? perhaps removing the light and only keeping a light on in the room. might also helps to lower the temps a little bit?
