Frozen bottles of water, wrapped in paper towel or hand towels.
CQ has been reaching 43-46 degrees too, and that's what I've been using.
If you have air con then why wouldn't you use it. it doesn't need to be set on cold, just around 27 degrees and it will keep the room at a steady temp.
Omg Where are you :shock:Ended up getting to 51 here... Thankfully no power outages though.
Jamie,Power outages are very common in the hottest weather - due to load shedding when the supplier can't keep up with demand they isolate certain areas and cut the power. You MUST have alternative means handy in case this happens - as I've said before, either bag the snakes and place in a cool spot (damp the bags if you must, or cover with wet towels for a few hours), or cover the enclosures with wet towels and keep damp throughout the heat of the day. These temperatures are quite frightening actually, especially the duration of several days.
Obtaining a heat gradient is simply not important for the period of time this lasts, for the member who asked about this. Keeping your animals cool is absolutely the most important matter just now.
Thanks Tony for sacking all the climate scientists as soon as you were elected...
