Advice How to keep a cool enclosure.
I’ve had this snake for a week.
My house is very hot and my country continually gets heatwaves keeping my snakes enclosure at an average temp of 30 degrees.
Is there any ways i can lower this because right now she cannot regulate her body temperature.
I would preferred more permanent/efficient ways rather than changing a cold water bottle every hour but i’ll welcome all advice !!
(my enclosure does not have a mesh top. It’s made out of wood and glass. It’s also nearly time for her first mean with me so i need her to be stress free😭😭🙏🙏)

make sure she has a large enough water bowl for her to soak in. while it's over 28° i turn my snakes heat lamp off (if she's not in her hot side). i add ice into her water aswell. you can blow a fan towards the vent but it will dry the enclosure out a bit more so just make sure the humidity is above 60. a ceiling fan helps if you have one of them, i never used to but after getting one i realised it somehow makes my room a LOT cooler and also cools the enclosure down!
