Computer fans were at full throttle. And mistings were made more frequent. I personally was circling my vivs like a mad man (my neurotic levels were in the Woody Allen spheres).

This is when everyone needs to leave the AC on at home while they go to work. Frogs love high electric bills. This is also why I'm switching over to LED lights. I know it will only knock off 3-5 degrees but if I can leave my home AC set at a higher temp hopefully I won't have to have such a huge electric bill this summer. Every degree counts.

Hence why I'm having issues with the frogs; they can't swim.

We had a heatwave here as well today and yesterday. It's not like your crazy temperatures, but we live in an apartment that easily warms up, because it's directly under a tinroof. So our snakes terrarium where about 27C where it's supposed to be 22-24C. So I had to make some adjustment to the setup:

Placing 2 bottles of cool water in the tank, with a towel wrapped around it (creating a local cooling place, like a reverese basketing spot). This morning, I took them out to replace the now lukewarm water with new, cool water. When I unwrapped the towel, this is what I found:

Seems like I am not the only one hating hot weather...
