Question
hi, is there a way i can keep the temp down in my tank? i have a humidity/air exchanger and it is got a glass top on it. it stays around 80-85 degrees. can you help?

Answer
That temperature is ok. If you are a bit worried you can lift the lid to the tank for a few minutes and that should help lower the temperature in the tank. Remember they are from tropical climates and the temp and humidity do go up and down in the wild. If you have lights on the tank you can shut them off during the day.
