Keeping Thick-tailed geckos cool

[Reptiles101]

I've got 2 thick-tailed geckos but don't know what I can do to keep them cool ... I've been spraying the sides of the their enclosure's, I've got a fan on and put an ice-cube in their water bowls. I've tried almost everything but the temps are still high (32-33 degrees)

Any other ideas would be helpful.

Place them in a container with no substrate and then the container in a tub of shallow cool water on tiled bathroom floor or the coolest place in the house and watch the thermometer to ensure they are ok. Thick tails are the least forgiving reptile of high temperatures so you are doing the right thing attempting to keep them cool.
